What a hyperbolic article. Valve will undo any damage. It's absolutely silly to think that they'd enforce a VAC ban due to abuse on their system.

What a hyperbolic article. Valve will undo any damage. It's absolutely silly to think that they'd enforce a VAC ban due to abuse on their system.
- ewillbefull 11y agoIt's a bit hyperbolic, but historically Valve have been very strict about VAC bans. If your account is hacked and someone cheats, they can get it permanently VAC banned and Valve will not negotiate or be lenient about it -- ever. I know this from experience and it's well known. In this case Valve will probably remove the VAC bans because it's such a high profile mistake on their part, but you can see why people are concerned -- especially when they haven't said anything publicly yet.
- Strom 11y agoThis exploit was mostly used to hit Twitch streamers. People whose job involves using their Steam account. They had hours of reduced revenue due to this attack and I find it unlikely that Valve will even acknowledge any opportunity costs, let alone reimburse them.
- MichaelGG 11y agoNor should they. Is someone paying Valve for a particular SLA? I'd guess not. I was talking about stolen items and VAC and so on. As if this was a physical robbery where priceless stuff could be lost.
