i heard rumors of bans for trainer users.

[deamon1311]

i am curious as to the type of ban.

on forums i've seen the results such as the following.

1:cheat happens member reported steam account closed
2:some forum re.net bans
3: a couple forums reported resident evil 2 remake keys being revoked with capcom support indicating trainer use as reason.

i don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about re.net.
my steam account would take me years to replace provided all games were still up for sale (not all are still up for sale).
revoking my key would just cause me to report the issue to the store purchased from and me insisting on a refund.

it took a few hours of searching to find the mentioned potential bans i mention.

Closing a steam account I don't think so, it's only concerning their games so they've no rights to do so. RE.net is a joke who cares. Revoking your game maybe who knows, but once again banning for a solo game is pure non sense.

1. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Valve has surprisingly ridiculously lax rules on actual account suspension, you pretty much have to break international laws to do that. The worst you can get is a wholesale community ban from the entire steamcommunity.com services. SO far the worst Valve ever did to people who were caught cheating red-handed, was VAC ban. And it can only happen in online competitive games. RE2 is not one of those. You literally cannot get a Steam suspension for doing anything inside the RE2 game during gameplay, unless you hack in some porn mod and post screencaps on it.

2. residentevil.net gets your play stats from the sent play data. There is anti-cheat applied and if they find (well, they as in a program) really stupid results, especially in multiplayer-enabled modes, you get a one-week account suspension and a permanent flag to be never able to enter to online/community events. (In RE2 case: even if you complete a weekly challenge, you never get displayed on the list. Ironically, you can still get the records for completing them to platinum, just not the actual results screen.)

3. That is even bigger ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Revoking a license needs proof of malicious user behaviour that breaches the terms of service. Unless you post a crack of the game and are stupid enough to sign it with your real name and Steam account ID64, Capcom won't revoke your license just for using cheats.
If they did, SFV wouldn't have its hacker/lagger/griefer issues right now.

Two of those is just the usual made-up fake scare news most any game with online capability has, and the second one has blindly caught a semblance of reality through sheer luck, but still managed to get is wrong.
Of course, there are always some dumb naive kids who fall for these rumours because they never in their lives bothered to read an actual contract.

Do you really think a 3rd party key seller is going to refund you? Places like G A Y 2 A require you to purchase insuranceto ensure the keys work. No legit seller is going to refund you as they would be able to confirm why your key wasn't working.

Play the game properly and stop being looking for short cuts. I don't agree with STEAM bans but you should fully be removed from RE.net or another legit place for cheating. It does a massive dis service to those genuine players that speed run the game legit

Edit: obviously if you playing for fun with infinite ammo then fair enough. It's just like running game genie back in the day. My criticism was aimed at the ♥♥♥♥♥ what post 00:00:00 times all over

[My 600 Ping Life.]

Lol what are they gonna ban you from? This is a singleplayer game.

[Uxot]

Log-off RE.NET before using trainers duh lol

[looppin1]

there is no problem to use trainers with RE, your save will not accept to score in weekly challenges or records, only fairplays.

[Shiroi Ren]

It probably would just check end results with some value.

Yup, I got the community ban thing. It's essentially pointless.

[MrBananaGrabber]

Capcom are going to ban and sue anyone caught using one.

I don't think any business spends time trying to track down people hacking single-player games. Think about it. If they are publicly traded, it's going to be difficult to explain to the shareholders ("We spent all this money to prevent people from hacking the game. No, they aren't stealing. They paid us, but they weren't playing it right..."), and if they are a private company, they are more likely to be concerned with coverage and aware that many PC gamers expect to mod / hack games. The industry is littered with examples of games that have been turned into long-term cash cows purely on the backs of PC hackers and modders.

Now, once we start talking cracks or other piracy measures, then businesses think about potential risks to cash flow. That's where it makes sense for a business to ban an account and start pursuing damages through civil suits.

Damn...if that's true I'm glad my laziness prevented me from getting it. But still, pretty odd they'd do that for a single player game. If its true, of course.
