Wow! You’re such a hacker! I can’t believe you cheated on Modern Warfare 2! You know what, because you’re no longer trustworthy in playing MW2 we’re giving you the BAN Hammer, and going to discredit your profile on Steam! What do you think about that!?!
Oh wait… we screwed up.
Hello,
Recently, your Steam account was erroneously banned from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
This was our mistake, and I apologize for any frustration or angst it may have caused you.
The problem was that Steam would fail a signature check between the disk version of a DLL and a latent memory version. This was caused by a combination of conditions occurring while Steam was updating the disk image of a game. This wasn’t a game-specific mistake. Steam allows us to manage and reverse these erroneous bans (about 12,000 erroneous bans over two weeks).
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.
To share your extra copy of Left 4 Dead 2 with a friend, you can ‘Manage Gifts and Guest Passes’ from the ‘Games’ Menu in Steam, or visit this article on the Steam Support site for detailed instructions: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4502-TPJL-2656.
To access your own copy of Left 4 Dead 2, visit your library of games in Steam. If you didn’t already own the game, it will now be listed among your others there, and is available for download immediately.
Regards,
Gabe Newell
President, Valve
So um, yeah we goofed up. So guess what!? We’re giving away not one but two copies of one of our best selling games for you to have and share with your friend. Marketing ploy to get more L4D2 users? Nah, we just screwed up. Sorry!
If you were one of the thousand of players who got banned by Valves VAC don’t worry, you weren’t the only one and now Valve is making it up to you. Ugh.. I hate Zombie Games though….
