Valve Bans Another 30,000 Steam Users

bryhhh writes "Valve has announced that they have banned another 30,000 steam accounts which had been used to try to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase. Only last month 20,000 accounts were banned for the same reason, only this time Valve states that, 'The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated'."

    According to a mod on the Valve forums

    Banned is different than "disabled"

    Banned = VAC caught your account cheating

    Disabled = You tried to steal HL2 (the first 20,000)

    big difference between the two IMHO...
