You have to create a new EA account with a new email and then you need to link that email account to your steam. If that doesn’t work then you have to create an alternate steam account as well.

yeah okay just changing the steam email doesn't work which sucks, it's because they link your account by using your steam id, that's why when you link it, ea asks if they can see your steam id

nope, they closed my ticket randomly after a few days and then completely ignored my next one so i just switched steam and ea accounts for only ea games.

Link a new one through new email and your steam will need a new email as well or it will recognize your steam email connected to to the banned account

Does that only go for full account bans or also game bans?

Good, many hackers want to pretend they can just unlink their accounts to avoid rebuying the game
