Valve Allows Developers to Ban Disruptive Players - News

Tweet

Valve has given more power to developers so that they are now able to ban players that are being disruptive or using cheats. They will be able to develop their own systems to detect these issues.

"Playing games should be fun. In order to ensure the best possible online multiplayer experience, Valve allows developers to implement their own systems that detect and permanently ban any disruptive players, such as those using cheats.

Game developers inform Valve when a disruptive player has been detected in their game, and Valve applies the game ban to the account. The game developer is solely responsible for the decision to apply a game ban. Valve only enforces the game ban as instructed by the game developer."
