Many players use third-party software that can help them gain an unfair advantage in games. This fight against cheats is endless and society Valve has another successful campaign against in-game fraud Dota 2. She discovered a cheat that presented information not commonly seen, but used internally by the game client, which could lead to an unfair advantage for players using such a cheat. Valce thus set a trap when he created a data section in the patch for the game, which normally should not be read, but which unauthorized software could work with.
Since this data was manipulated, which should not be without cheating software, Valve proved the presence of fraud and banned more than 40 thousand users for life. Although the company does not publish these anti-fraud practices very often, it wanted to send a public warning to players that any application reading data from the Dota 2 game client can lead to a permanent ban, which also applies to professional players. For you, such a ban could be an even more serious problem. At the same time, he thanks all those who report suspicious players.
