  • People that just complain without a better improvement in mind

    As I said, you ignored it once, and twice.

    I’d argue that hackers are more important to valve

    They aren’t more important to Valve; they are more important to people like you. And Valve just tries to figure out the best for everybody. Albeit badly.

    They just now announced a family sharing feature

    Go do some research before claiming such things. It has been a thing for many many years. And as far as I know, they simply reinforced their ruling on bans. My argument already existed for many years, but is now even more true.

    You’re the one arguing for an alternative that could increase the number of hackers

    Hackers buy and sell accounts for a few euros. On top of their €20/month cheats this is nothing. Most people getting VAC bans are the stupid ones trying out free hacks. Which mostly are kids. Who would have thought?

    VAC is meaningless for the real hackers. And an account being used for hackers is easily spotted compared to an account from a parent sharing it to their kid. You keep asking for my solution, but my solutions are so obvious it would take a stupid person to not think of them. Hey here’s one: “investigate the main accounts manually”. I thought such ideas would not require a triple digit IQ to be considered obvious.

    You have lost absolutely nothing - nothing has been “ruined”.

    They already had family sharing where a ban upon the main account could have been contested. You could at least ask them to consider the age or stupidity of the person or family member using your library.


  • God you’re annoying. This is a useless discussion that doesn’t have any power over Valve whatsoever. Nor do I even have to be the one to come up with a plan. I actually even already gave a simple plan and you ignored it.

    Your arguments that hackers are more important than a parent with a kid are selfish and stupid. You encounter a hacker online and instead of going “oh well, I’m sure that kid will learn sometime” you go “fuck that hacker!!! boohoo!!! valve fix this omfg!!! boohoo”. And force Valve to ruin it for the rest of us.

    Valve has a stupid rule here which should be revised and improved for actual families, instead of trying to babyproof the whole goddamn thing. Parents shouldn’t have to babysit their kid when it comes to videogames. It’s actually bad parent and many teenagers would even choose to cheat just to rebel.

    How come these concepts are too high for you to grasp?
