For the past few days, a number of players on the Computer version of Modern Warfare 2 have been on a rampage on various message boards, complaining that Valve has banned them from playing online even though they didn’t do anything. For a little while it looked like Valve wasn’t going to do anything about it but tonight it seems Valve has found a fault in its VAC anti-cheat system.
Valve’s head man Gabe Newell has issued an email to those who were affected including one who posted his email on Steam’s forums. Newell states, “This was our mistake, and I apologize for any frustration or angst it may have caused you.” He then gave a rather technical explanation on why the inncorrect bans were made and then added, “We have reversed the ban, restoring your access to the game. In addition, we have given you a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to give as a gift on Steam, plus a free copy for yourself if you didn’t already own the game.” So apparently everything is cool.
