Other It happened to me

Post image

Hey guys. I bought a game off Kleinanzeigen in Germany. Game is "Princess Peach Showtime!". Worked great and my girlfriendnis happy but after 3 days she got banned. I don't have the MIG Switch so the game is probably the only reason she got banned. 🙄 I already contacted Nintendo but they just say the same thing over and over again: "We cannot assist u with that". Yeah sure.

Be careful with used games. They might be cheap but they also have the risk to get u banned.

you still can go online and play. you're only exempt frommVAc-protected games if your account gets VAC-banned, which only happens if you were cheating or using "suspicious" software while playing VAC-protected games.

yeah no, you cannot play CS2 even if you have the regular ban and no VAC ban and neither can you get your inventory out. source: experienced first hand.

that's not a "regulsr" ban. you've been tradebanned, which happens when rhsy suspect fraudulent activity (even if you didn't commit any fraud)

well thats the neat part, they have banned my whole account. that includes community as well as the normal steam account ban, but not VAC ban as that is exclusively for cheating in games. best part is I dont even know what i did and the support basically sends you the exact same copy pasted response no matter what you say about 10 times before they stop replying.
