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.

This is huge the fact the had to apologize shows the the we are getting to that point where Linux gaming can’t be ignored anymore.
