You...hah. You're admitting to exploiting server-side functions to break administration on your account, after abusing an exploit on the forum? Man, it's a good thing you're from Russia where illegal stuff is ordinary, because that's, in layman's terms, hella illegal.

Wait, am I reading that right?

You got banned (for whatever reason) and you 'hacked' your way around it?

Gee, can't imagine why they kicked you. XD

It was an unwanted action. I did not asked "self-locking tool" to remove my Ban. It was an accident.

Localization testing - was my target.

exploit, accident, against the TOC .. doesnt matter imho, still you should be able to keep your paid games.. no steam/forum account anymore ok .. but taking paid games for whatever reason is just confiscation imho

Maybe, but whatever the result, you used an outside script/program to circumvent their site. Even if the intent was totally harmless that's a no no, for Steam or anywhere else.

Read this. This is an official tool from Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6416-FHVM-3982

Yeah, I agree. I'm not arguing with that. That's why I tow the line a line more over there than here.

My beef is that the OP trying to convince us that he/she did nothing wrong; like the folks at Valve randomly picked out the account from a list of thousands and went after them.

They still own their games, Valve can not take those licenses away.

Valve just cancelled the subscription to the service to access and unlock the software.

_mz_: in any case i think valve shouldnt have stripped you of your bought games/apps
permanent ban should maybe lead to getting some value back at least .. but 100% confiscation is not right imho, even if ban was warranted
thats why i like 100% drm free ;)
In general I agree, he still paid a lot (I suppose) for all those games.
Maybe Steam should use increasing bans (even many months) after clear warnings for such huge accounts, instead of a definitive perma-ban.

Btw, I hope that the OP isn't guilty, because this looks shady AF and also a bit silly.

And yes, that's another reason why DRM-free is always better.
But many people realize it only when it's too late..

this reminds me of one of those situations where i say something my teenager doesn't want to hear or i tell him to do a chore he doesn't want to do.

he'll start by trying to salesman his way out of it, he'll then get sassy and inevitably have get the last word in, i then inform him that because i pay the mortgage his opinion on how i run my household is largely meaningless to me, and then before he can even respond i inform him he's grounded for the week -- and that it's non negotiable. and if he wants to try and negotiate we can do two week instead.

But they can terminate access to the account, which they are probably did.

Such action can be performed officially also: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4650-SDKC-0716

KabyLake: Hello GOG Community,

The Steam Support has deleted or renamed my account's login. I'm not sure when it was exactly happened. I had some problems with my PC around one month.

The account can not be search by login or by email. I've got an error that the account IS NOT EXISTS!

This topic is not personal support thread. I just share my negative experience.

If before it was just the deactivation for only 3 days (which also is not good from the Steam Support's side), but for now I get an error that the account's login is not exists in the database.

Here is the big conversation with their manager in the "brainwashes" style - is.gd/Tr4nuw . The last conversation I had with them.

No sensitive data here and it can be disclosed to public.

Keep in mind that they are professional managers, but I'm just a normal user that need a help. :)

So, basically all my 1000 subscriptions (games and programs) are gone. It wasn't indie games, I had triple-A titles like NieR: Automata and so on. And professional software like Sony Vegas Pro.

Here is my profile when it was still alive: is.gd/VAst3h

misteryo: Pretty amazing to read such a clear case of Valve being right and you being wrong. Wow!
i know, right? it's like "maybe if i be as annoying as possible i'll get my way!!!"

The only way to remove the ban now is to hire a lawyer and go through the arbitration process. Nothing other than legal compulsion will convince Valve to remove a permanent ban.
