That's necessary, "it was my brother who cheated" is the oldest lie.

It would be great to blanket disallow games that you can get banned in. Especially VAC bans.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Or alternatively send the rest of the family detailed explanations of how the idiot in question cheated and what they did. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

A thousand times this. I'd even be for a button to add whitelist for games they wanna play. I am super sensitive about Mr acc, and the last thing is having a ban on record. Especially when I had to spend 10 years with a trade probation because my dumb ass duped some items on TF2.

[-] tortiscu@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

Is it though? If they are not banning the whole family, what prevents me from adding a new little brother?

[-] SmilingSolaris@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

The price tag of the game generally

Except that lie is often used when sharing an account.

Under this system, there is no ambiguity in terms of if it was you or your brother.

[-] Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

Yes there is. You can just make another account for yourself and add it to the family, then use it to cheat. That's the reason why they have to ban both.

[-] papertowels@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago

Aaah, didn't think about that. Darn! Can't have nice things.

[-] Aasikki@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah it's unfortunate that a few bad Apples have to ruin it for everyone ๐Ÿ˜….
