Valve has been handing out Steam bans for years now, but the company has revealed it will now allow game developers to hand out bans with Valve enforcing their request.
The Steam Community describes what a developer-based game ban will entail. “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,” the page says.
Valve wants no part of a Steam user’s rage as it states “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.” In other words, a Steam user is going to have to bug the game developer that requested said ban, although if they probably have a good reason why that particular player should no longer play their game.
We have always felt cheaters should never prosper, so passing the buck to game developers could turn out to be a good thing as they will most likely be more on top of its community and its trouble makers. There are some games whose online multiplayer modes are completely unplayable due to cheaters, so having the game developers instructing Valve to do away with them will hopefully finally level the playing ground.
