    Rather than outright ban cheaters, it’d be funnier if they are just flagged in the matchmaking system and only ever get matched with other cheaters from that point forward.

      It works like that afaik. If you use the same phone number with another steam account, it then matches you with other people with similarly ‘bad’ score accounts.

      VAC bans are pretty nasty iirc.

      Your account gets flagged for cheating and you can’t play on any official Valve servers for that particular game ever again.

      Also if you family share the owner of the game gets the ban (don’t share with people you don’t trust).

      Edit: oops it’s only for the game you were found cheating on.
