I should have been more explicit, but by other platforms, I meant ESEA/Faceit that provide their own anti cheat systems that run independently of VAC. I'm not sure I'm really seeing many people go to ps4/xbox simply beca

It's a naive viewpoint. Prime example: Counter strike. Even with VAC(valve anti cheat) measures, the game is full of cheaters. Those aren't super intrusive, and the game simply isn't fun for anybody who cares at all about com

I've noticed this as well! I think there are tons of dropship companies that are run by a single person looking to make a quick buck selling rebranded low quality alibaba products. It's endless on my instagram, and I now ignore ev

you dont get immunity to it. you can re-catch it, at least according to certain sources. woman in japan got it again, or at least it seemed to have gone away entirely, and then came back.
