Comment on Valve accused of ignoring existing RCE vulnerability in Source games for 2 yearsparent

Comments

when playing on high trust-factor accounts, cheating is basically eliminated.

Yes, but this is not a technical fix. You just hope that accounts with more "value" cheat less. Which is true in most cases.

That's another HUGE issue: stolen accounts are a massive underground market and while your skins can't be stolen usually, the account can be hacked on and get banned. You can get stolen prime accounts for under $5 and high value accounts for very cheap.

Trust does actually work a lot of the time. But you'd think account security would be easy for them to crack down upon.
