      Well, civil rights lawyers have been pretty busy lately trying to stop the slide into facism, so they haven’t gotten around to making our choice of OS a protected class.

      Seriously though, why would it be illegal? It’s their game, so they get to be assholes and decide who gets to play it with them. I don’t think that’s ever going to change, and I’m not sure it should. We do the same thing in the Fediverse, deciding who gets to use the instances we control.

      I know that’s a turn-of-phrase but it’s their game so they can do what they want.

      It probably trips some EAC flag because it realizes something is “amiss”. Id guess going through proton might behave a little differently and they think you are cheating or installing hacked dlls or something so they ban.

      I know when other games have caught a wave of Linux users in bans they reverse them in time.

        If someone buys a product from you, you shouln’t be able to deny them from using it based on arbitrary criteria without a refund.
