>Why do you think it is fair to warn of a possible anti-cheat that will work?
We are talking about a serious company here. And I only said it's fair to announce the start of a new system. They want as much players as possible, this is the way to go. >So that the possible cheating Admin can say gee, valve I'm not a cheater, I was just testing the hack to see how it works! Hum? I suggested a delay in the execution of the bans, not a second chance for the cheater. Everyone will be banned for cheating, but a delay will catch more ignorant cheaters and create a fear of the unknown. Like this: A cheat developer swims out on open sea... no sharks... tells his "children" that its safe... They all jump in and start swimming.. only to find out the shark has been observing.. and will now eat them all.. Instead of just eating the cheat tester because people noticed he got eaten. >Warning gives them the opportunity to protect themselves and why would you want to protect a cheater? I don't want to warn a cheater, but again; Valve is a serious company. You can't do whatever you feel like when trying to be serious. >VAC will always be updated whenever a new cheat is released so long the project doesn't fall apart. Does this mean that we know VAC will be updated on the fly? If so, great. No need for a delay. >But he will know it when all the little cheaters run to his forums and/or email him! Then he removes cheat and valve cant ban him because they waited and gave him a chance. Again: noone is asking cheaters to be given a chance to get away.
