- SirMaster 2y agoThey said if a user changes their IP and SteamID then it would be considered a new user and they wouldn't know. What did I miss?
- compootr 2y agodid you even read half of the article? summary: guy found that the IP and steam ids can be rotated with low cost, so he used the in-game web browser to set a persistent cookie (on that installation of the game), so once cheaters get banned, rotate their IP/steam id, they'll be banned until they clear the app's data.
