vac bans stop *appearing* on your profile after 5 years so maybe they are perpetually 5 to all games

Pohhhhh
Pthey stop APPEARING
Tyea
Tto others
Pyeah okay that explains why i thought what i did
Tyou can still view it yourself in the settings after
Hheh if they are repeat offenders then they are definitively 5 
KVAC is by engine
Pthe account that got banned was mine and got the ban after i gave it away lol
KSo you can cheat in CS 1.6 and not get a band from CS:S and CS2
Tits EXTREMELY rare for them to remove it, only if like they banned the wrong person
KBut that's it, they never fall off
KYou are given the permanent fuck you
KSupport will never rescind one unless it was a false positive
Hhonestly part of me wishes that people would actually get unbanned after like 10 years lol
a cheater will just make a new account and move on, a person who hasn't cheated in a vac game and still actively uses steam has probably earned their lesson

Pand they usually already know about this when it happens because VAC is based on definitions
DHey, what are the chances that I'd get the same shasum after downloading a bazzite image twice but it differs from the hash on the website?
PValve aren't stupid and they do know whether you ran a known public cheat or just did some very inconsistent engine behaviour
Tyea bans like this hurt more innocent people than they do cheaters
Treading ab this dude who got banned cuz cs2 thought he was cheating for using msi after burner and rivatuner
Pum
Pyeah
CWell, innocent people can create new accounts as well
CAt least
Pmsi afterburner and rivatuner are basically like opening a radioactive source next to any anticheat
Pnot surprised
Tinnocent people usually invest on only one account, of which isnt recoverable after being perma banned
Pafterburner is typically fine because most people only use it for fan curves
Tthey also said that an anticheat said his secureboot was disabled when it wasnt so im sure that also affected it
Peh
Pthat doesn't mean a lot
CI'm just glad VAC isn't a rootkit
Pnot for the actual ban
Predditors think everything is a god damn rootkit though
Tvanguard
Pi'm sick of hearing kids spread FUD about battleye and EAC specifically
Plike jesus
Hi just realized that a vac ban is a more permanent stain on a record than bankruptcy lol
CIf Valve can figure this out surely it'll put pressure on other companies
Pthey're the two dumbest ACs known to mankind, get real
KTo be honest though no part of a video game needs kernel level access to my machine
KDevelopers need to get their shit off my computer and start doing this server side like they should have done in the first place
CUnless you're on DOS or something
Pright we can all agree that's part of why windows isn't on the table
Talso the whole point of kernal level access to see any anticheats, is completely negated by a second computer
Pbut u see people just taking that narrative and running with it for stuff like EAC that is literally an impotent process warden
CVideo games have no business overseeing what I have running
CIt's at least a privacy angle
Pyou don't have to worry while you're not on windows
CThankfully
