Having a years old steam account with a clean record then getting flagged as a cheater must suck when you weren't even trying to cheat. Even if Valve plans to reverse it your account potentially not getting reversed would be a tough pill to swallow during the wait. Shitty situation.

Reminds me of the early days of PUBG, when they started banning people for using Reshade. Instead of, you know, fixing the blurry, desaturated graphics. They eventually added a sharpening setting but to this day the game still looks dull, which makes enemies hard to spot in a game that heavily relies on being able to see.

I got an MW3 ban for just being part of a modded lobby, this was like 4 years ago and I’m still mad about it

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I'd still be mad about that too.

Can’t play official servers anymore, glad I can still use plutonium to play tho

Thank god I hadn't tried it yet for this exact reason. I'd cry if I lost my 20 year old account.

Bans on CS2 shouldn’t result in the loss of the account

You just know that freelance news writer, Anton Shilov, is really proud of himself for that headline.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
