I have my fake account still with good VAC standing, but I'm trying to run MW2 through Steam, so will probably get the boot too soon. This is why people hate Steam... Crying or Very sad

damn that has to hurt
still, we can't be sure MW2 triggered it...maybe more people with deactivated steam accounts will step forward shortly (after playing mw2), then we can draw conclusions Smile

I finished the SP with Skidrow no problem. I even ran the RZR crack to run some tests. Steam is running. :\

I know that with L4D the Official Game Group was being filled with piracy talk (ip's for pirate servers, etc) and they went in and disabled those accounts, presumably for the piracy reason.

It's possible someone decided to check those discussing piracy if they pirated it, and then disabled the account.

Then it must be steam scanning the system for rar's/installed games you did not pay for
as the statement says We have found activity in your Steam account related to piracy.
I said something long the lines of , Skidrow FTW thats all i said
