1. It's pretty fucking stupid to link any account that you value to a public number.
2. It's pretty fucking stupid for Valve to link bans to a phone number only, especially when Steam can tell it's a public number. Using IP's, payment info, geographic region, MAC addresses, etc combined with the number is fine. Using only the phone number alone is fucking stupid especially coming from a multibillion dollar company with hundreds of employees that's been in business for 20 fucking years.

Didn't Blizzard ban thousands of cheaters in Overwatch using a combination of IP, name, payment address, region, hard drive ID's, BiosDate, Windows key#, MAC addresses, etc keeping cheaters banned even when they used a different computer and a new account to buy Overwatch again yet they were still banned?

Pretty sure they didn't.

>>340862375

Yes

>According to PC Gamer, some people are even reporting bans that span multiple copies of the game. “Bought the game again,” said one alleged cheater. “Didn’t hack on it at all, just wanted to enjoy the game a bit. Two days later—banned again. Bought the game... again. But before doing that, I deleted Overwatch and launcher completely. Enjoyed it again without cheating only for a day.” They claim they even tried altering hard drive IDs, MAC address, BiosDate, and buying a VPN, but they still kept getting banned.

It's either Valve is somehow less competent than Blizzard or just doesn't give a fuck
>>
>>340862398

CSGO has some sort of preferred matchmaking if you do link a phone number. That, and using the market without a phone number is basically impossible because you have to wait 14 days to trade your items.
>>
>>340862375
My friend cheated on overwatch and got himself banned immediately. He just made a new account and bought it again with the same card. Playing on the same computer as before, no problem.

So at least it's not standard practice.

>>
>>340864223
If you don't use a 2 step phone authentication they need only 1 password, and that's the password of your e-mail. They can then reset the password of your steam account without any problems.

It's much easier for people to get access to your e-mail than your physical phone. If they do get access to your physical phone then you fucked up hardcore and nothing could have saved you.

Anyone says 2 step authentication is placebo or doesn't work is literally retarded. Yes, your phone is the weak link in the chain of security, but in order to get to your phone they need to jump 20 times more hoops than to get your password. And that's only if they even live in the same city as you and know who you are.

Valve only cares about their bottom line. They would rather want a cheaters rebuying csgo 20 times and rebuying their skins (which they do) than keeping MM cheater free.

Valve could give two fucks about those people who hates cheaters because they are not giving them lots of money.

Valve forces the Steam Mobile Guard because 7-year olds get scammed and then waste a customer support robot's processing capacity with yet another report to fill.

Not only the steam-trade hold-up is 7 days if you don't have mobile guard but have your e-mail ok and all, but it is also being forced on TF2's competitive mode, being able to play it only if you got Mobile Guard. Even though it's in beta, it still has high chances of being a Mobile Guard exclusive even after it got released.
Eventually, Valve will probably force it on every account, and if you don't provide a number, you won't be able to use Steam.

>Vĕra Jourová, the EU commissioner for justice, consumers and gender equality, led the creation of the code, and placed it in the context of the attacks in Paris and Brussels. “The recent terror attacks have reminded us of the urgent need to address illegal online hate speech,” she said. “Social media is unfortunately one of the tools that terrorist groups use to radicalise young people and racist use to spread violence and hatred.

>“This agreement is an important step forward to ensure that the internet remains a place of free and democratic expression, where European values and laws are respected.”

They did it for reasons.

They are underage kiddies who have no phones, and they need to link your phone number to be able to trade without the 7-day item limbo.

Linking your number also gives you a matchmaking priority in CS:GO or some shit.

Yes, they either do it to grief or just love the power rush.

Or, if you code your own hacks so it's much less likely to be picked up by VAC. It's the fun of hacking, but maintaining plausible deniability that you're just really good and the tension from that.
>>
>>340876532
They're griefers too.

More like they are the core group of PC gamers. Why does Valve make the games that are easiest to grief? Compare shit like TF2 and Counter Strike to Call of Duty and Overwatch. Hell, Call of Duty alone has a much larger and easier to enrage user base, but you can't do much in terms of griefing outside of teamkilling in hardcore. Counter-Strike on the other hand has 10,000 different ways to grief.

This is one of the many reasons that VAC should be appealable. These people may be stupid but they did not break any rules. They deserve to be unbanned. And people like me who has an account thay has a VAC ban 5-10 years ago should be appealable of removal or rather, the can be hid via appeal.
