Game ban on account

[Booshil]

My account has been given a permanent game ban and discussion ban upon me asking for more information on it. The game in question is Task Force and I have not had this item in my library or even played this game in over a year. This game developer has done this to many people before and its outrageous because this affects our steam profiles while nothing happens to them in return even if it's a false ban. I uninstalled the game and removed it from my account more than a year ago now and never looked back, and yet on this day I got a permanent game ban on my account randomly. I've had no interactions with them since until I had just posted on their discussion board asking if I could get some response as to why I even got a ban in the first place. This is not the first time this has happened to someone regarding the developers of Task Force (Tracer Interactive). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get in direct contact with Steam? I understand they don't even get involved from what I've seen but still want to try. They need to be investigated for wrongfully banning people and marking their accounts.


I can't get a response from an email or through their discussions.


My first "ban" since I joined in 2009 and it's to a abusive dev. Steam needs to investigate this game dev

Yes, many of us are in the same boat. Steam support blocked me. I cannot make another ticket... Welcome to hell

That it is, this has been on going for years and it’s crazy that steam hasn’t removed them from the platform. The game hasn’t even been able to be bought since like a week after launch. The developer is just using it as a tool to ruin people’s steam pages

It’s “ongoing” because these people keep lying about everything in some vain attempt at FUD. The fact that Steam hasn’t taken any action should speak volumes as to who is these “victims” are. Trolls who want to spread FUD

So, let's look at my case then. You could argue I am lying. However, with zero playtime in this game, how could I possibly have cheated? You can check yourself, all my game records are public.
And let's not overlook that fact that so many people with nothing to gain have spoken out against it. Just look at the negative reviews of Task Force. These many testimonies have weight.

I emailed plenty of journalists, but unless you got connections, they don't really care.

Which is more likely: a dozen people all cheated in an early access video game that is so unfinished the developers pulled it from the store to avoid negative reviews without opening the game and somehow not a single person has ever mentioned seeing a cheater in that game, or a developer is abusing bans?

i think you should go ask the dev to give you a key... you might learn something

Perfect response, I hope he does.

Go do it, go to their discord, ask for a key and dont play. Go prove a point.
