I did not expect to see CS2 news on lemmy… I’m all here for it!
Will this apply for TF2 also?
I did finally win a match in CS2 after a long loss streak… it was definitely because everyone else was always cheating… not because I’m shit…
At this point I nearly want to “donate” to Valve…
That’s what we call having hundred of untouched games in the steam library. Right?
And they did it without installing root kits on our computers.
Ha! Get fucked, losers. Cheaters ruin the fun for everyone, so I hope every last one gets permabanned.
You cannot permaban a cheater for the saame reason you shouldn’t have death penalty, people need to be able to challenge the decision which should trigger a process
As a piece of software, I highly doubt there isn’t a single bug in VAC that would cause a false-positive
Bro touch grass. Seriously likening a VAC ban with the death penalty?! You can just email someone if you got banned; if you wrongfully died from the death penalty you can’t just phone the judge and ask him to recheck lmao
Judges should be using ouija boards to communicate with people killed by death penalty. “So you were guilty, right?” To make sure everyone gets a chance to appeal the decision.
This is certainly one of the comparisons of all time
Consequence of sentencing the wrong person to death: You killed an innocent life in an irreversible action.
Consequence of permabanning a player from an online game: The player can no longer play the game. The action is also reversible since “permaban” just means to say “we’re never unbanning you unless something extraordinary were to happen”.
If, to you, not being able to play one game in the sea of many many many games is akin to death, maybe you need to see someone about addiction.
If you cheat in a game, you’ve burned your bridge. It’s like taking a piss in the cereal isle of Kmart, you probably won’t be welcome in that Kmart any more. Or hey, maybe you’ll end up like an acquaintance I knew who was banned from a Kmart, maybe you’ll be hired on as staff without them checking the binder of banned people. I think I’ve lost the plot of this analogy.
Yeah, I have a very thoroughly ingrained suspicion of people treating anticheat with too much confidence stemming back to when I got banned many years ago from an online game for supposedly running a script.
I had so much lag on my dialup connection, that a backlog of all my commands hit their server at the same time, so from their perspective it looked like I’d entered over a dozen commands in under a second. Insta ban, no appeal, essentially lost access to a significant percentage of my online friends that it hadn’t occurred to me to get email addresses for.
shadowbanning to cheater-only servers sounds like nice middle ground to me
Sometimes it’s a nice perk if you want to play modded coop with your friends ie those from mods.
In the worst case scenario offender can just create another Steam account, so permaban is fine.
I said cheaters, not suspected cheaters. I know that’s unrealistic, because no anticheat software is perfect, but I still want it.

Though I kinda like the wrecking sentiment
TIL wreaking is a word. Whops
Good.

You love to see it.
Nice.
The cheating bastards need to git gud.
numbers please
This explains why I get killed so much… right? Right?
Yeah! Me too! It’s all the cheaters, not my complete lack of coordination, speed, and skill.
It’s the damn cheaters!
git gud (at blocking cheaters)
Cheaters being banned? What?
It’s possible that Adwaita for Steam causing VAC issues now. I suddenly started getting VAC warnings on CS2 and it didn’t go until disabling Adwaita for Steam.
Yet another reason gnome is awful.
How is this related to Gnome though? Adwaita for Steam is a third-party Steam client theme that only modifies CSS. This might be a coincidence but I don’t know at this point.
