As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they've tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.
How long ago did you contact them?
If they haven’t done what you asked within 30 days*, you should report it to your country’s data protection agency. I also recommend that you inform EA that you are willing to do that, if they are not cooperating.
*In some cases they can extend the deadline a bit, but in general it’s 30 days.
You can’t delete your account if you’re banned? Seems a bit iffy.
So just like Reddit does if I’m not mistaken ?
Shady to say the least. But as long as you have a single ban active, they keep you from deleting it
A GDPR request could accomplish that easily. They will obviously need to keep some amount of information so you just can’t make a new account.
Right now they’re giving me a run around for it so it hasn’t been so easy

It was yesterday but good to know that there can be at least a general timeline. I guess I’ll just have to put up with all the walls for now.
