Hypothetically, if someone were to download a Steam game from FG what's the best operating procedure to avoid being Steam banned? For example, I understand that steam_api.dll will often be quarantined by MS Defender because the game uses a modded version of that file. Once it's restored what steps would you take to proceed? Log out of steam? Disable internet access? Kill all Steam processes?

At that point why don't you just play a pirated version on the game lol it seems like less of a hassle

I agree with you there. I usually just want to try out the game before I buy the real deal. I don't do too much online stuff these days, but occasionally I want to jump into a game with a friend and thus need my Steam account.
