The creepy thing is there is a possibility you can loose everything you bought in the worst case, maybe forever, without you being at fault. This time it ended ok, but who knows what's on the horizon.
With GOG I have all my games backed up thanks to DRM free policy, but with Steam...
Vac bans mean you can't play on vac secured servers. Nothing happens to your other games. For a competitive multiplayer game some anticheat detection is wanted. People changing their dll's to gain a competitive advantage is cheating. AMD making and distributing this unintentional cheat doesn't change that.
I agree that buying directly or through GoG and backing up your games is the best thing to do. But this incident isn't really related to that.
Nah but valve is huge and they're a big community host so to speak, getting kicked or locked out would be like getting blacklisted from visiting the USA simply because your last name is Hitler
Wrong analogy. There is nothing preventing you from just making another account.
