Just saw the Ars Technica article on this, and it included this lovely section:

As detailed in the r/macgaming subreddit and at r/SteamDeck, many players who successfully got Marvel Rivals working would receive a "Penalty Issued" notice, with a violation "detected" and bans issued until 2124. Should such a ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.

I can't believe they can ban people from the Year of the Linux Desktop.

As the glow of civilization fades to the last ember, a single player still stands, still plays, and he uses a linux distribution which name has been forgotten to time.

It is the year of the linux desktop.

Yeah, those absolute monsters.

Like Fusion the year of Linux is always next year. It will be next year forever.

Should such a (100 year) ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.

Lol. Harsh, but fair.
