@ogisadaDMA @KVyrukas It only does temporarily. Not permanently.
When I spend money then it goes green, but eventually goes back to yellow or red again.

Game: CS2
AC: Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC)
Cheaters have been exploiting the Armory Pass system to obtain Permanent Green Trust Factor for quite some time now.
This has now been taken to a new level with accounts abusing the Armory Pass system using a method that repeatedly buys and sells items from the Armory Pass until an account reaches around 400 dollars in total spend to qualify for Green Trust Factor after which these accounts are mass sold for as little as 40 dollars.
This effectively allows cheaters to access and operate in Green Trust at roughly 10x lower cost than doing it legitimately.

So.. how much longer until the Steam app on Android installs PC games?

@smF_cs2 Same happened to me. It happened to me 4 times and now I'm on a 181 Days cooldown 😡 @CounterStrike

@gabefollower This is going to be a nice update for people using a Steam Deck like myself to play CS2.

Say whatever you want, but a 15% FPS increase in a "modern" game on both low-end and high-end PCs is insanely impressive.

@tecmint 1-3 times per week. Usually when something stops working then I reboot.

Do you reboot your Linux system regularly or almost never?

@SonofSaiyajin @FACEITcs It's an April fools joke. The real number is 0 bans.

Since August 2025, our Anti-Cheat issued 472 AI cheat bans. AI cheats are the fastest-growing in gaming, using machine learning to read the screen without modifying game files.
Our detections are rising, and to stay on top we continuously test and ship new advanced methods.

@operagxofficial If it ain't a Flatpak, then it doesn't exist.

Who got a Match Cancelled by VacNet Anti-Cheat after detecting irregular gameplay on Counter-Strike 2 ❓

@CachyOS @Aerobrake77 Not true. Last year I updated and then my system broke. Had to reinstall. And I simply ran a system update from the Hello/Welcome app. Same thing happened on two of my other computers as well as three of my friends who also did the same update. All of us had to reinstall our OS.
English
@Aerobrake77 There will be never a reinstall on CachyOS required. :)

@TimSweeneyEpic Why would developers want their games on any competing platforms anyway?
English
Steam’s rules do explicitly prohibit games from steering players to competing purchase methods, forcing everyone to pay 30% to Valve.
Apple and Google did the same until the court explicitly found this practice to be unlawful. Now they don’t!
Ryan Fleury@rfleury
If Valve’s 30% transaction fee is so outrageous (it’s not), then others can simply provide alternatives and charge less. If players still don’t want those alternatives, it’s for a reason: the higher prices they see are worthwhile for the various services involved. So, the alternatives need to also compete on quality. That isn’t an “unlawful monopoly”, that is a competitive service provided at an acceptable rate for developers and players alike. A competitor can undercut that price, but they have to actually do a good job providing an alternative. It is completely absurd to involve the government to punish Valve.
