Has anyone gotten a game or account ban using Linux with Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher? (lemmy.world)

I built a PC for the family yesterday, and I'm hoping to get away with going 100% Linux. What makes me a little nervous is that Epic Games, GOG, battle.net, EA store, etc don't officially support Linux. If I try using Lutris, or Heroic Games Launcher, or something similar to use those platforms, is there a chance my account will get banned? I've seen some stories about people getting banned from Apex Legends using Linux, but since I don't play that one I'm not too concerned about it.

Has anyone had a bad experience?

Why should a store ban you from spending there your money?

I mean, that's exactly what Nintendo did to me after modding my Switch to transfer save games between PC and Switch for games I've bought on both platforms.
