@Over 10,000 Steam Accounts Banned

Hahahahahahaha! Good. 10,000 more and that would cover it. Strangely a few I know that cheat just for the fun of it, still continue to play. Funny but shows how thorough Valve is. Rolling Eyes

Hell they even just got a flash intro now, business seems even better! lmao.

P.S. And considering I test HL2 cheats for my own benefit/knowledge. I am not banned. Again, says a lot for the bans. Guess another lame marketing tactic by Valve to feebly show they crack down on cheaters.

Pure and simple, play FPS' with private groups of people you can trust and cheating will not be an issue.
Clan wars? make sure you've got plenty of spectators Laughing

xxxx, I'm assuming you test the cheats to know how they work? which is fair enough; knowledge will weed them out.

I don't only test em, I send all information to the respective game makers.

I have friends who believe it's comical and typically state it's the sole reason why they play FPS. They'd be bored without them and naturally the pleasure of pissing people off.

This news, to me, is some mere form of marketing to try and lure more idiots to play HL2 and a lame attempt from Valve to show they care. What is NEEDED is people to do HL2 sites and solicit these cheats until Valve fesses up about cheats and actually really cares about fixing them.

if Valve cant even stop Source Industries.. that pretty much tells you what they can do about ANYTHING.
