Seemingly heavy handed features wouldn't be so readily despised if:
* Valve didn't shut the discussion down altogether. If the GitHub page wasn't the right place, then suggesting a forum where feedback would be appropriate and actually prompt a response would be the way to go.
* Valve (or rather, their support staff) didn't have a history of extolling the perfection of VAC while dealing with some false bans in private.
* Bans didn't have such large implications, or:
* The support and appeal process wasn't so obtuse, seemingly useless and blackboxed.
I think they'd be encouraged to take more chances with their Anti-cheat ideas if the process for fixing false positives wasn't so genetically corporate and so user-hostile.
