    Reddit can’t see your MAC address. You don’t have a direct L2 connection to Reddit.

    While the game can, since it’s running on your machine and can see everything.

    EDIT: And I doubt they do IP bans of subnets given to end users, that’s stupid, people change IPs all the time.

      Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, reading my comment back. I said it’s likely that it was either of those, but I was thinking more along the lines of “it sounds similar to either of those”. I also doubt they do IP bans, and I don’t know enough about MAC address logistics. I assumed they’d be able to pull that info from a web browser, depending on the one used.
