71% Informative

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play hero shooter with an in-game shop and anti-cheating tech.

Gamers who successfully got Marvel Rivals working would receive a "Penalty Issued " notice, with a violation "detected" and bans issued until 2124 .

If such a ban stood, players risked entirely missing the much-prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming.
