Only valve can permaban people from valve servers.

like I get the point of VAC and how it happens after the fact so as to be subtle and hard to counter

but once a hack is public shouldn't VAC trigger instantly upon trying to connect to a VAC server with such an obvious cheat? with a 99.9999999% success rate of no false bans I think it's probably acceptable

as far as i know the VAC system only bans upon a 100% prove of system disruption, not based on any play footage. Because every vac ban being forever it must be a 100% proof which mathematically seen my demos (or similar stuff) are not

You'd think their money printing would net them at least $10 to waste on getting access to the hacker's tool and forum.

But nah.

PendjiYou'd think their money printing would net them at least $10 to waste on getting access to the hacker's tool and forum.

But nah.

It's not like it only costs them $10 to get the cheat. They then have to spend hundreds of man hours updating VAC to be able to detect the hack, at which point the hack gets updated to dodge VAC and they have to update VAC again. This is how anticheat has always been and when Valve loses a total of $0 from hackers in TF2 there is no reason for them to do this. Once matchmaking comes out presumably there will be more of an incentive to put in the time to try to combat the hacking in TF2 because people can't just leave the server when there's a hacker in a mm game.

i think theyll wait til they can charge for mm beta passes, then let the hackers buy them, then vac ban them to make a second profit on them.

marketing. SeemsGood.

alphaaas far as i know the VAC system only bans upon a 100% prove of system disruption, not based on any play footage. Because every vac ban being forever it must be a 100% proof which mathematically seen my demos (or similar stuff) are not

the thing is, non-premium LMAOBOX should be easy as hell to detect. It's one of the most obvious cheats out there. It should just be blacklisted at this point. It grants instant access to game info a normal client shouldn't have, and is in no way subtle like other cheat methods. It consistently takes around 30 minutes to ban a free LMAOBOX player, but why does it even take that long?
