They're unbanning unfairly banned players and giving them copies of Left 4 Dead 2.

Sounds like it was an error with updating, more than VAC itself. VAC did what it was meant to, except in this case it detected an update as bad or something.

Yeah, a false positive, which they have always denied ever happened with VAC2.

I can see why this happened, and completely understand why VAC would react in this way, I just don't understand why MW2 is so tightly integrated with VAC in the first place that this could happen? I thought all that would happen is mis-match and kick.

good move by valve

Just rephrasing my point a little...




Not a Valve game = Not really their normal VAC implementation. I don't blame Valve at all for this.

Well at least VALVe admitted their error and were actually very generous.

They said the problem was not exclusive to Modern Warfare 2.

Seems like the entire system glitched to me, rather than it being a true "false positive".

Weither way, Valve dealt with it properly and much more generously than you would expect from most companies (heck, if it was Activision who managed the ban system, they may not have even got unbanned, let alone a free game).

Pretty cool of them to give the people a free copy of the game (if they didn't own it) and a gift copy. Can't really say fairer then that, although MW2 players on L4D2? Lol.

yeh, they'd feel right at home with wasd spray obviously.
