Deleting a game that im VAC banned on
So 1.5 year ago my stupid friend somehow convinced me to give him passes to my account to play CS:GO (worst mistake in my life tho) and like 15 minutes later he gave me VAC :|
VAC is only on CS:GO, so im wondering if i delete this game from my library will the VAC info still be shown on my profile or it will somehow VAC my entire account?

The ban will remain on your steam profile however the red text will disappear after 7 years has passed.

If it is as you say and the VAC ban was applied 15 minutes after you broke the SSA and gave him access to your account, it wasn't him that caused the ban. It was something you did weeks before that. VAC bans are delayed.

acually it was like he couldn't play CS:GO (i guess it was an "overwatch checking block" or something, he told me that it happens sometimes) and 15 minutes later he told me that i might have VAC, acual ban was given to my few days later :v

Your "friend" lied to you, a lot.

Just to be clear. After 7 years others user won't see it but the account owner will still see it

The bans remain permanent, particularly in your case if your "OVERWATCHED + VACCED" is the case, dude.

Reformat your computer and start a fresh steam account. cheating got caught by *everyone* in your case...

the ban is permanent and the GAME BAN notice will always be visible to the public (currently).

I believe i was wrongly acused.
Gave my account to a friend and 2 days later i receive overwatch ban "majorly disruptive", even though he didn't cheat at all. He was at the bottom of the leaderboard, how could he cheat. He was only toxic af, but in this case i should've received minorly disruptive, which lasts only for 1 month. How possibly could i fight this injustice?
CS:GO will be the downfall of Steam Valve.

gave account to friend = SSA violation and grounds for account to be PERMANENTLY LOCKED/TERMINATED. this is worse then a game ban

thank you for admitting that the account is CORRECTLY BANNED. you are not banned, the account is banned because the account was used to break the rules.

make a new steam account, start over, stop letting others use the account. it does not matter who was using the account when it earned the ban.

Account sharing isn't allowed.

Hijacker, friend, family member or anyone else accessing your account and got you banned is not a valid excuse.
Account security is the owners responsibility. Hijacked account, friend, family member or someone other than you is no excuse and a flawed argument for defence.

If all we'd need to do is
1. Mask IP
2. Cheat
3. Unmask IP
4. Claim account was hijacked (not hacked.)
5. Then claim Cheating occurred while account was compromised using IP as proof
6. Get unbanned

Any cheater could repeat steps 1 - 6 every time they want to cheat without any consequences.

Banning would be a waste of time and Support staff would be flooded with unban me cases increasing wait time for genuine cases.

Bans are permanent. If you want to play on secured servers you need to create a new account. There is no way to remove your ban.

if he was being toxic and it's the second time the accounts been banned for it the ban is permanent.

Be grateful the account only has a ban as sharing account violates Steams agreement and could result in the account being permanently locked and even deleted.
