[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago (1 child) why? Hackers keep losing. Seems like a good reason to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pycorax@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 months ago* (3 children) On the other hand there there are also games that may erroneously flag accounts for cheating using false positives from other anti cheat systems. Can't remember the exact details but iirc CoD had this issue a few years back and it affected the VAC status of Steam accounts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] br14n@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago I have a 22 year old steam account, played every cod on there, every decent multiplayer shooter that came out the past 22 years, not once did I get a false ban on that account. Cheaters love to lie. Vac has always reverted false vac bans if there was one that happened to people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] grandma@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago I've seen some people with 5+ year old VAC bans still have good standing on SteamDB. Not sure if thats the same thing valve is looking at, though permalink fedilink source parent [–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 child) Your first problem was still playing Call of Duty in this day and age. After Activision fucked over paying Infinity Ward developers back in 2010, the writing was on the wall. The franchise should have been abandoned be fans and it's only been downhill every release since further proving that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (2 children) I think is unfair to say playing one of the best popular game series that has been popular for 20 years is the players fault. Those games are total trash now, but that’s not the point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago I think is unfair to say playing one of the best popular game series that has been popular for 20 years is the players fault. Popular, yes. Best, is extremely debatable. After 2010, the games dropped off a cliff. Infinity Ward were the ones that brought the series back from death in the first place. Treyarch were always the second tier COD studio, and it showed after half the IW team left to form Respawn Entertainment. Although I guess we should sort of be happy that happened since we got Titanfall out of it. That would never have happened otherwise. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com -1 points 3 months ago Well I think it’s totally fair. We are talking specifically about the dipshits that make preordering and DLC basically standard now. They keep buying it even when it’s trash, money talks. permalink fedilink source parent
