    I really hope valve can get VAC into a good space so it can be an example of doing anti-cheat well without having to be a rootkit. Looks like we’re heading towards that point. Hopefully this change will last

    I’ve often thought that the cheaters should be simply shadow banned, and only match with other cheaters. Let them play against the other cheaters and see how well they do.

    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

        When you suspect someone of being highly dangerous you put them in jail even if they are not convicted yet. And when it turns out they are innocent they are released.

        A ban is like jail not like a death sentence …

    OMG thank God, finally VAC is working??? The cheating was getting so bad. I kick and report people as much as I can but it felt like it never did anything.

    Knowing this, I am not as upset about getting caught in the crossfire the other day. VAC flagged my game session after like 2 seconds and I had to reinstall completely.

    I should go read some of these cheater forums and maybe talk a little shit. Little fuckers.
