>Any given day has 3-5 thousand VAC bans handed out
Jesus christ, Mustards.
I don't even have to read anything to know the vast majority of those bans are towards literal kids hacking in CS:GO and Rust, honestly the 2 worst fucking games I've ever experienced hacking in and all done by edgy
Well when the game is 10 bucks, and many people sell these cheap ass knock off aimlocks for 5-10 bucks, it's bound to run rampant
Pic related: The 'I didn't cheat' starter pack
I love the "my brother" excuse.
Well if they're not kids, they're certainly brainlets.
What percentage of those people buy the game again to bypass the ban?
Valve doesn't care though. It's their way of printing money
You guys do know that if you were to sign into a VAC'd account on your phone and sign into another account that one is also going to be VAC'd right?
thanks for bringing this to my attention, OP
just woke up and I'm already smiling from ear to ear reading these dumb kids whine about being punished for hacking
this is what Valve (or any for-profit company) wants
Put a password on your phone.
To be fair, I only did that after I found my old boss going through it.
>When you don't want to explain to your mum why you have to buy the 10 dollar game and 200 dollars in skins again
user, it's glorious. I can't stop looking at these retarded kids and laughing
I never understood the mustard race vs console thing. Why not have both? You can get all modern consoles and a PC with like a quarter of a month's salary.
Guy i'm freaking out
I installed a mod on skyrim and i don't want to get VAC banned, i uninstalled steam and have my computer shut off. I writing this from my mom laptop, am i safe or am i still going to get banned?!?!
Pointless tribalism.
No problem against it, I've got both, it's fun to throw out shitpost terms like that sometimes.
how cancerous is the middle finger profile pic?
Actually, looks like that idiot is just upset because he now has a black mark on his 12 year old profile. Sucks to be a fucking faggot I guess.
are there verified occasions of vac ban false flagging? i'm getting scared
It's mostly mentally 12-years-old Eastern Europeans, and actual 12-year-olds from civilized countries.
Because there will always be the strongest, bitch boy.
>sharing your phone
Other languages sometimes use "Have X years" as "Am X years old"
Yes but they get revoked.
False VACs are quite rare.
>~$2000 pc
>ps4 pro ~$400
>switch ~$400
>xbox one x ~$500
>equals $3300 or one quarter of $13,200 a month
Surely you don't think most people make that much.
what were the reasons to ban?
people hacked all the time on 360/ps3 with their jtag faggotry or whatever it is. Consolefags think they're morally superior but the truth is if hacking were easily available like on PC then consoles would be much fucking worse for hackers
As in VAC getting the wrong person? I'm sure it exists in some crazy anomaly. In a lot of these cases i'm seeing, the profiles are open so the blood trail is traceable.
A lot of people also seem to be lying, like how many people are using their brothers account for hacks? "Brother" seems to mean "my alternate account i thought wasn't very connect to my main"
Thank you for that info. Sifting through these roughly translated cries for help is a bit rough.
A few month ago there's a bunch of false csgo ban that valve had to revert.
I'm no fan of Valve, but whenever a VAC ban wave goes out it brings a smile to my face. It's nice to know they'll shut down entire cashes of their previous digital hats and skins, which although they already have from the original sales, preventing themselves from making more money. The fact that they do it in waves rather than as soon as they detect cheaters makes it even better too.
I'll be generous and say that most people on here are around 18 years and not underage.
There is no way they can earn enough money for that.
i recall a story about a recording program banning some guy a few years ago until he whined to steam support for a long time, but i can't find it since it's buried among 'guys i didnt cheat it wuz my brother' stories
the most well known false VAC was when cowabunga modern warfare 2 banned people for updating itself while it was running, which was undone
VAC used to ban for bad RAM
what is it with pcbros acting like VAC is an infallible system
I think VAC ban aren't harsh enough.
Or people should have their account removed if they have more than 3 VAC ban.
Fuck cheating bitches
>draconian DRM platform mass banning players
>HA HA! COME AND CELEBRATE XDD!11
>ISNT IT AWESOME THEY ARE REVOKING EVERYONE'S ACCESS TO ALL GAMES ON STEAM XDD!!11
When they're cheating? You bet.
>cheating baby is upset
Get fucked
This, compiled with the EAC VAC bans for people using AHK recoil scripts in RUST is fucking delicious.
Just goes to show how shitty PC gaming is for the most part unless you love spending thousands of hours playing single player games or co-op with only people you know.
it's not infallible but VAC actually rarely rarely ever bans people for the wrong reasons and if it truly WAS a wrong ban you CAN get it reversed by Valve, which is why you never see any get reversed because they were hacking and lying about it. Now that there are game bans and devs can ban people from their game like in VAC you almost never see "accidental" VAC bans, user
I'm not. It happens, but it's still rare and improving.
It reminds me of when I used to work at a bank and the people would come in to discuss their overdrawn accounts and an error they think is the banks. When in reality, banks errors are really fucking rare, and turns out they signed up for a get rich quick pyramid scheme online, and want to try and lie their way out of it.
>LE CHEATERS XDD!1
its still mass banning from a drm platform
you shouldnt be celebrating drm revoking access of shit people paid for
you're literally cancer at this point
>REVOKING EVERYONE'S ACCESS TO ALL GAMES ON STEAM
revoking access to VAC-enabled multiplayer servers, and most VAC games have an option for server hosts to disable it
>Spending $2000 for a PC in the year 2017 when most games underutilize even 5 year old mid-tier hardware because they're indie or they were originally made for consoles
Anyone who does this is retard, a normie, or some 13 year old boy.
>ISNT IT AWESOME THEY ARE REVOKING EVERYONE'S ACCESS TO ALL GAMES ON STEAM XDD!!11
Not how it works.
>revoking access to games
They don't though?
You just can't play on VAC secured servers and your inventory gets locked.
Shitposter
also since when is v**vedrone filtered
Dude you've been reposting this same shit for 3 threads and calling your self "THE OLDFAG". Go to bed grandpa, you're VAC'd
Dark Souls II had a lot of false flag bans.
if you'd actually think before mindlessly spew out retarded opinions, you'd come to conclusion that this is terribly inefficient:
1. cheaters who have no investment in their account (i.e.
I remember once they started banning people who had a certain torrent client open
those got revoked though
>agree not to cheat when playing with others online
>cheat and ruin their fun
>git fukt
cheaters are cancer
cry me a river
>most of the messages begging for forgiveness are from thirdie vermin and russians
really makes you think
Platform warrior nigger terms have been filtered for months, kill yourself.
>vac ban can't be removed, says Valve;
>it actually can be removed in some occasions
good job devaluing your own statements, Valve
like one time with tf2 or something
>Yes but they get revoked.
And how would you know that? Some VAC bans get revoked, and in most/all cases, they were false positives. But then you're assuming that the bans that don't get revoked are all correct, which is quite a leap in logic to make.
>xd look mom I'm shitposting about something I know nothing about lol
It still bans you for using any kind of injection (SweetFX, Fraps, that mod that prevents save corruption)
v4c is shit
No one has had their games revoked you retard. Hell they can even play online still, just not on servers with VAC enabled.
I got a vac ban for having CCleaner open. Figured out it can ban for having certain programs open. It fixed itself after like two hours of tweaking
How do these ppl get out of bed, let alone hack games?
you can't get a VAC ban from DS2
honestly you're right but no legal system is perfect. the United States in particular is kind of gotten screwed which we have CSI and Law and Order the thank for thay.
"False flag" doesn't mean what you think it means.
They already get a ton of money from people buying the games again on new accounts
Graphically intensive games utilize the biggest video card you can throw at them. Who cares what indie games do? If you're just building a league of legends toaster, then sure you can get away with less. Just for the sake of argument we'll reduce the computer price from 2000 to 1000.
>$2300, or a quarter of $9200 a month
Or we could ditch the computer entirely.
>$1300, or $5200 a month
That's still significantly above the median household income in the united states. When you factor in the expected and unexpected expenses of living on this planet you can see why the majority of people can't afford to have all the consoles unless they're willing to forego something big.
fuck off
>1. cheaters who have no investment in their account (i.e. 2. occasional cheaters who have large library will get pissed off to a point of bitching and, potentially, suing Valve in non-shit countries w/ pro-consumer laws for taking away hundreds of dollars by deleting their account
no such thing as occasional cheaters, just cheaters. also going against the rules you agreed to means you broke the contract.
>3. the community within of which the cheater was vac banned is already cleansed from a naughty account - they won't gain anything from removing user account completely from existence.
except that it's a punishment.
The best way to have hackers stop hacking is to fuck them hard up the ass
>play unfair
>be treated unfair
Quite fair.
...
they already have to buy their games again, you moron
>Graphically intensive games
>In the year 2017
>To be fair, I only did that after I found my old boss going through it.
haha what?
>Graphically intensive games utilize the biggest video card you can throw at them
You turn off post-processing effects that make the game look worse and you can lock 60 on years old hardware.
...
SO STUPIDS FOR IM 2-3 LUCKY SHOOT YOU TAKE ME IM WH,AIM WHY YOU STUPID???
>shitty english
check
>dumb multiplayer games
check
>mostly underaged faggots
check
and nothing of value was lost
>Banned? Haha, I'll just buy your product again. That'll show them.
No one gives a shit about some ruski
only the games they have been banned from, fucking retard
You get soft banned in-game without any message
>Graphically intensive games utilize the biggest video card you can throw at them.
Then why are you even fucking comparing it to consoles? A PC that runs games at the same level consoles do is fucking peanuts.
Kids whose parents will only buy one of the three, so they turn this whole thing into a cult to justify their buy.
Poorly optimized AAA pc port garbage eating up 6,000,000 GB Video RAM doesn't count as fully utilizing the graphics card.
>Buy a game at full price
>You don't actually own it
>You're technically just renting it indefinitely
>Your right to access the purchased product can be revoked
Man, for a board that supposedly hates DRM, Sup Forums sure loves to choke on Gaben's dick
I remember when you fags made arguments on why steam shouldn't have a refund option.
Why does Sup Forums hate DRM when Blizzard does it, but lovingly take it up the ass when Valve does it?
you are an idiot of absolute level - neck yourself
I know that but this is about VAC bans.
Stop crying, Abdul. VAC will stay and you won't play your precious csgo ever again.
this
So you don't buy everything in a month. 5k is still nothing outside of poverty zone.
Make me, shitcunt.
and you're a crying cheating bitch, of course you're unhappy with my opinions
kys underage
You can still play the game retard just not on Valve's servers. You signed an agreement that you won't cheat on their servers or will face a penalty for it.
You do invest part of your income right? You are aware of the amazing power of compound interest right?
