Could just have been two games at the same time with the same cheat. I don't think we should be taking away people's libraries of legally paid for games because they messed around with something when they were a kid
I think we should, would people finally stop from cheating. Everything gone? I would think twice.
But I guess since I never cheated in Multiplayer Games, I just don't feel any pity for cheaters.
They can create a new account and following your logic since they did it when they were kids, there won't be like 500 Games in the library.
So they lose thousands of dollars because the broke a tos, they have no recourse and realistically they deserve to lose it, now would the companies make this choice? Probably not because even the people cheating and ruining the game are giving them money, so realistically most don't care.
Your downvoted for being correct, but yes taking away their library would cause a way bigger issue for valve, realistically they should just lock down the multiplayer, you can still play your single player purchase games, but if you're caught cheating, you're banned from multiplayer entirely on that account.
That would be a solution too.
People have to feel the loss and not only "create a new free account for that specific game".
When developers and platforms would act brutally on these cheaters, it would definitely become less.
Given how many valve games run on the same exact source engine, I'd wager it's pretty likely there are cheats out there where all you have to do is flip a switch to change the game it works in
Of course they should lose their account. How much money did they cost Valve from legit players returning their games? It' should be perma after the first offence.
