'GAME BAN' removal from my Steam profile page?
Qwik question really, i have a ban from Amazon games, New World specifically.. I was caught, using an auto fishing script/program. Not a problem accepting my ban, i deserved it. However does this now perma stay on my profile page? With a daily counter since the ban? I'm not arsed if so, badge of honour, it ain't, so obviously if possible i'd hide it or remove it, lol, just wanted to know more, might have missed an option or setting, as i could not find much info on the topic.. Cheers, guys. :steamthumbsup::gmod::gmod::balloonicorn:

Well the game Ban has been there for 177 days already so it looks like it's gonna be there for a Loooooooong time. That's what happens to people who cheat in games.

Yes. Game bans do not disappear after 7 years like VAC bans do. You would need to successfully appeal the ban for it to be removed from the profile.

VAC bans go invisible on profiles after the bans turn 7 years old. Only the account owner can still see the text. However, game bans remain visible to everyone, no matter what their age.

VAC bans disappear from the profile. A game ban like you have does not. It is a permanent mark and no you are not banned from Steam for either VAC bans or Game Bans.

You're welcome. Keep in mind just because VAC bans disappear from public view does not mean they are not permanent bans. If you receive a VAC ban you will never be allowed to play on secure servers for that game ever again on that account.
