>For some reason,
Maybe because none of this is relevant and everyone in this thread is getting upset over nothing. No real users have been harmed as a result of this measure (most people in the github issues thread have repos where they own or contribute to cheating software) and it seems to have worked to ban a number of cheaters. Seems like good engineering to me on their part when such a simple solution turns out to be so effective.
- anonymousab 9y ago> No real users have been harmed If they had, they wouldn't know why. That's one of the major parts of the problem - the entire ban system (and appeals process, or rather, the letter memory hole valve deigns to call a process) is opaque, a black box. You don't know why you're banned beyond "cheating/hacking" or "cheating in game X" in the best case. There's then the self-fulfilling silliness with the proclamations of perfection of VAC; you need such a high standard to prove the negative, that you did not cheat, and a ton of luck for them to even consider the possibility.
