Valve just banned a record 95,000 Steam users last week

Crashing 40,000 records of July 2017

There was a time when moderating individual servers banned their own users, but as the unification and unified PC shops took off, it became the Wild West. For years, Valve has been trying to fight cheats with its VAC (Valve Anti – Cheat) technology, and all of a sudden, more than 95,000 accounts were silenced (read: banned) last week. This crushes the previous record of 40,000 users banned last July.

By breaking it, on Wednesday, July 18, Valve banned 28,409 users. Then Thursday, they eliminated 61,490 accounts. The total of the week stands at more than 95,000 bans. As PCGamesN points out the mbadive sweep may have been due to a series of new tricks that have all been both for some of the most popular games on the service, including Team Fortress 2, Ark: Survival Evolved, CS: GO and Dota 2 .

Cheating on a service like Steam is such a huge bet that it's crazy. In addition to your games, you have to consider high-priced money market items – it's a very dangerous game and Valve holds all the cards [trading]
