What on earth makes you think that they would ban you or even on what grounds ?

It's mentioned at least twice in their ToS.

I must be missing something I guess, Does it not use their API?
Is that not what an API is for, Integrating third party programs/Access ?

Yes of course, but the Github page does not mention use of the Discord API so I needed to be sure.

Quoting: midget_3111Nope! I've been using it and it's predecessor for about 2 years now!

So to be absolutely clear, this doesn't do anything with their code, but uses the Discord API? Thank you ahead of time

Did they already confirm Linux support?

Quoteif you do pre-order

Does Feral still get their cut from your purchase before they finish the port though? If we pre-order through Steam or Humble, won't all the revenue go to Creative?

Microsoft Edge available officially for Linux today as a stable browser
2 November 2021 at 6:32 pm UTC

Quoting: rea987Only reason that I would allow it in my PC alongside with Firefox and Chromium would be to be able to watch Netflix 4K but it's still not happening on Linux. Hence, I'll pass.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/13444

Edit: Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed Edge to see whether at least 1080p Netflix streaming is available aaaaaand it couldn't play a thing on Netflix. lol Though, it's probably Netflix's end as they are quite strict with browser support, they probably block Edge on Linux due to unknown user agent.

On the other hand, I am able to stream 1080p on Firefox thanks to Netflix 1080p add-on.

https://addons.mozilla.org/tr/firefox/addon/netflix-1080p-firefox/

https://www.netflix.com/watch/80018592

Be the change you want to see, contact Customer Service and ask for 1080p and 4K support in Linux via Edge browser now that it's available. Maybe they'll bump the request up the chain for you.

If they want to sell games to Steam Deck owners, you're damn right they will.
