There is another game that i want to play on my PC using bluestacks, is it safe to do so without risking getting banned for MCOC for some unknown reason? I have no intention of using bluestacks to play MCOC at all, just for other games.

    If you don't play mcoc on it then I don't see why you can't use it on a separate device

    Read before in the forum that the account was banned even when the player did not know the phone had that software.

    Of course, it's an emulator. For some apps, using BlueStacks is against their T.O.S (like MCOC). Just don't run them lol

    Then you shouldn't have any issues. Again, make sure the "other games" you're intending on installing allow you to play them on an emulator and won't risk you from getting banned.

    To be more specific, i installed keep talking and nobody explodes on my phone through google play. Upon realising that i might not be able to transfer the purchase to PC i was exploring using bluestacks as an option to play the game i already purchased through google.

    My question now is will MCOC somehow ban my MCOC account just because i have bluestacks installed on my PC even though i am not using bluestacks to play MCOC but rather to play keep talking and nobody explodes.

    Sure, prevention is better than cure. Why risk it?

    If you do not load mcoc while using blue stacks no rules are broken.

    Owning Bluestacks is not against TOS. They have no way to control that. Playing the game with it however, is.

    The only thing i fear is that kabam's automated banning system sees (i own blue stacks) + (i log in to blue stacks with my google account) + (i have an MCOC account linked to my google account) = (i'm using bluestacks to play MCOC) and i get wrongly banned even though i am not actually using bluestacks to play MCOC.

    Games that are compatible with blue stack you can play them.But not everygame has access to BlueStacks but there are plenty of games that works on blue stack.

    Don't really think that's relevant to this because that guy had his agency or whatever install software on his phone which he was actively playing mcoc on. Blustacks is usually on your pc/laptop and this guy doesn't have mcoc on that.

    if you don't download mcoc on bluestacks, they can't ban you. Kabam is not the CIA. They do not have access to you're computer
