VAC servers don't really matter; the bans come in waves so even when new cheats are detected you're still going to play a bunch of games against people using them until the actual ban wave happens. Retroactive fixes are applied to stats and stuff so you don't have "losses" against cheaters but when you're playing against them it really sucks, and sucks the fun out of the game.
- oh_sigh 7y agoBanning in waves after they can detect the chear seems just like a money grab at the expense of real players
- xxxtentachyon 7y agoHow is it a money grab? There's no recurring subscription fees to play CS:GO

- blattimwind 7y ago> If you want to continue playing after a full ban, you need a new Steam account and buy the game again. CSGO is free to play. If you get banned, you only have to register a new Steam account...
- detaro 7y agoOops, it is indeed. That change totally passed me by.
- nkrisc 7y agoIt's done to make it harder for cheat makers and cheaters to pin down what exactly got them caught. It's a common tactic across many games.
