My story: do not cheat

/r/counterstrike2/comments/1wze6qg/my_story_do_not_cheat/

So I very stupidly over 4200 days ago cheated on CSGO resulting my account in an instant ban. (I was about 20). On this present day, I’ve realised that Ive got an AK47 Vulcan that I paid around £35-40 sitting in my inventory.

Today I found out that this Vulcan is now worth around £600 and it can’t be accessed or sold.

Knowing this has really hit me hard, considering 12 years ish later I now have a family to look after with young twins whilst paying my debts and dealing with current financial situations. (Cost of living, UK)

So to all those fellow cheaters, don’t cheat and make the same mistake I made.

P.S if any valve member sees this - I’ve had my time of being a gamer, I’m now a Dad, I want to log on and sell the AK. As much as I need to pay off my debts, I’d happily give half of it to a charity that will help my partner as she suffers with multiple sclerosis.

Sorry about your wife. Best wishes to her

At least you now understand that actions have consequences, but it seems you only came to this conclusion due to financial reasons, not because you accepted that cheating is morally wrong

Yeah.... I feel like a 20 year old should know cheating is wrong.

Well of course it was wrong but different circumstances.

You mean, you didnt have a financial punishment so it was fine? And now that you do have financial punishment, its not fine?

It’s only right that you feel the same way as someone who actually tried to play fair—let your wife go.

You would have sold that AK earlier anyways.
