- PhasmaFelis 10y agoThat's not true. The only way to get VAC-banned is to cheat in online games, and it only affects the game you cheated in and--for Source or GoldSource games--a few other multiplayer games that use the same engine. Source: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7849-RADZ-6869#vacgames https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7849-RAD... That's no different from what you'll get in non-Steam games. You cheat, you get banned.

- tgb 10y agoThat's entirely false: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5406-WFZC-5519 https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5406-WFZ...
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoThat's suspended, not banned. Suspended accounts can usually be recovered if you talk to Steam support, and suspension still doesn't block you from playing your games, just from buying/selling/trading games and in-game items. (At least since 2013 or so; it may have been different before that, it's not entirely clear, but it's definitely the case now.)
- tgb 10y agoOh interesting, thanks for the correction!
- madeofpalk 10y agoI would say that that has less to do with DRM and more to do with banning you from their multiplayer servers.
