People threw such a big tantrum about it that VAC had to stop doing that and Gabe Newell himself had to make a public statement about it.
Besides VAC already scans more frequent and throughly the users that have been reported for cheating.
If you make it optional so only people who choose to install it will play with other people who have it installed. And people who don't want it will play with other people that don't have it.
I don't see an any problem here then
Looking at these statistics I'd say VAC is doing fairly well. Considering the limitations it has
Also I'm not sure if you knew this, but VAC bans are delayed for a reason
But still, it's almost impossible to detect all cheats with limited access to OS.
We need just a simple switch that will allow VAC access to everything and can detect any running program.
So users who are considered about their privacy can keep it off and continue using it as is it now.
Users who enable it can enjoy 100% cheaters free gaming.
No what VAC does now is just fine.
With that said, my usual copy and paste comment.
Do you really think that they just sit there saying, "oh we have the perfect way to stop all hackers/cheaters once and for all, but we're just not going to do it cause we're lazy, ohh look at that, more money just rolled in, time to sit back doing nothing again"....
You have no idea how hard it is to stop hackers/cheater.
First Valve has to know about the hack and has to get their hands on it.
Then they have to figure out how it does its thing.
Then they have to figure out how to detect someone using it.
Then they have to figure out how to make sure they don't get any false positives.
Then they make it go active for a few weeks before actually hitting the kill switch.
Even before hitting the waiting time, this could be a few weeks work or more.
Why do they wait a few weeks to hit the kill switch? To get as many cheaters as they can in the net so that once they turn it on, the roaches don't go screaming to people "don't turn on the hack, its been detected".
Now, do you know how easy it is for a cheat maker to change the cheat to make it undetectable? Sometimes its as simple as changing a few lines of code and thats it. Basically a few minutes work, then compile the program, test it, and upload it somewhere.
So if you want to help Valve, stop making posts like this. Look for people spreading urls to websites with hacks and send those urls (for the hacks and hack sites) to steam support. Don't post them in public, just send it to steam support.
And then what. A hack can spoof the id of another program. The hack can also conversely detect when a scan is underway and hide itself. Knowing a program is running and knowing what its doing are two different things.

........and on and on, as far back as you wish to go.
Seems to be working just fine. It just does not work the way many wish it did.

EDIT..and the forum is getting hammered as I make this edit with new posts of users complaining about their accounts being VAC banned. Almost faster than the moderators can lock them. So again, VAC works perfectly fine, just exactly as intended.
We don't need a new anticheat.
What is needed is for people to stop cheating, and downloading cheats from sites that keep developing them. The anticheat is not the problem, as the people doing the cheating is.
You cannot fix a human's broken moral compass with any anticheat. That is not possible, as there will always be cheating. It's the very definition of "anti" as in "anticheat".
The cheating comes before the anticheat.
EDIT 2......................
VAC forum only goes back to 120 pages......
http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/9/?fp=120
And at the time of my edit here, that date on that very last thread was/is January 2 of this year. Look at the dates of the threads. Hundreds of banned accounts, in only a few days.
So as you can see, VAC works perfectly fine, just exactly as intended.
One would be to only allow people to play on competitive servers who have a verified account. And I'm not talking about a phone number, but some way for Valve to magicly link a Steam account to specific real world person. At this time, various privacy laws from every country Vavle does business in prevents anything like this from happening.
The other would involve a complete change in how the OS's handle software. Like being able to run programs in some sort of protected mode that can't be accessed or tampered with by 3rd party software. It would also probably require keeping people from accessing the source code so they couldn't examine it looking for vulnerabilities. Admitadly, this would make them more like consoles, smartphones, or tablets where you normally can't install unapproved software without jailbreaking the device. So I really don't see this happening any time soon.
If someone know, can you please explain to me what would be a problem if for example requirement to get verified account is to send picture of yourself holding your ID card or passport to Steam? And then steam employees can verify that's you and verify your Steam account.
I don't know about other countries laws, but I think this shouldn't be a big problem?
The problem is that pictures can be altered and Valve would need some way to verify the information with your government. Most governments don't have any kind of procedure in place for companies to check such information, in fact many dislike the fact that private companies have certain personal information on their citizens already. So it won't be happening any time soon, especially since you'd need most of the major world goverments to all be on board or you'd have no significant verified player base.
I dont trust neither Valve or other businesses with such info
Secondly as others said you have no way to verify the person on the image is who he/she claims to be
Then later, a VAC ban is applied on the account. This is seen often in the VAC discussion forum.
If the ban in the game profile shows as an Overwatch ban, and there is not a game ban applied on the Steam profile at that time, then later a VAC ban is applied, as in this exact case scenario, both systems caught the account cheating.
The VAC ban simply takes priority over that in-game Overwatch ban, as an account does not need two bans for one game.
