forget it, what then a a game dev dont care to fix its Achievements.
then you are screw ) 99% compleated game, that look more stupid then solved

i dont care if all do 100% on every game the just bought, not my problem and i hope steam see it as a tool to fix devs crapups.

but yes i do understand you, what you made the post i also just play the game and try solve as much as possible, until you do run into games devs that use excuses and say dont have license any more or other lie, and its here i say either steam should step up at moral and tell devs either fix it or remove it. and maybe its here tool app actual can fix it and then steam, dont have to do anything.

and i bet that will be as it is, not there problem if people want to cheat with it, then its actual a outside game issue. ( imo )

but yeah i do get you, it was ment to be a , i can see you did that, you seem to know how to play.

i never did it myself have accept its 99% solve games, but what is the next dev that change so many things so more or less it always screw up, plenty of videos on it.

fallout 3 dlc and microsoft say steam bought its achivements right and so many cant get it solve
and now we are caught in what they say and steam do . sure both company is to blaim here.
so nah steam lost that battle a longtime ago,
sure they can do it. im cant stop them, but sametime they will open the door we will all complain over all achivement that dont work, and then they have to fix it. ( so imo will never happend just use tool app then needed and fix broken ones ) this will reduce steam require manpower to fix it. then user can do it yourself.

Realistically if someone has bought a game they should be allowed to use ‘SAM’ due to the fact that first they own the game and second achievements don’t really mean anything unless they give you game-items which in any case aren’t tradable.

What people do or don't with the achivements has no impact on your account or game, stop focusing on what other people do and enjoy your own legit achivements.

Don't count on anything happening to this program, as a Valve employee commented on this before and basically said "meh" about the entire thing, there was more but there was a lot of work for basically no gain. The way to stop SAM is to put all achievements server side, some games do this but this more than likely won't happen.

What people do with the games they purchase has nothing to do with you, if they enjoy cheating in-game let them, they might get banned sooner or later. If they enjoy unlocking all achievements with the program let them. (They might get banned from some game hubs and even some aspects of multi-player in-game, and yes it's happened before).

On top of all that the program actually has it's uses like locking all achievements and playing a game over and unlocking again for some users (tho it can mess up the trigger for unlocking them again if you do this) and unlocking broken achievements that are never fixed.

problem with it, is as user also have a valid point , you can actual see if a player did a level diffculty as proof he is worthy for next level.

some gamers actual use it as okay you seem to know how to play and rdy for next level.
even i did that in Total war Shugun2 , sure there is player that are "master commander" not a game title , but sooner or later you get feedup with all the newcomers that leave campaign.

and i know sure this happend in alot of games, problem is base turn game and campaign is over then player do that.

but yeah nothing new in this , people have always done this. and its here you start to learn, you is skilled enough and maybe abit more hardcore player and stick with it even then get booted out of map by AI.

and we are back at not real a steam issue , other then nice to know if player actual did beat game on certain level. ( to play with people on Lengendary level do require other actual beat game at very hard. and yet you cant even compaire those 2 level at all )

Never going to happen. its been around for more than 10 years and valve has no interest in locking down achievements; they are meaningless on Steam.

So are Steam levels, played hours and +rep, yet somehow people manage to give them value and meaning. :lunar2019deadpanpig:

No point. If SAM could be ban/blocked it'd only be a little bit of time before an alternative is created. Just like every other cheat.

I'll elaborate your point
Steam Achievements are

1. Meaningless to users viewing another users profile as you can not be sure the user didn't cheat to unlock them.
2. Meaningless to users that cheat their own achievements.
3. Meaningful to users that don't cheat their own achievements.

Personally I'm 3. I like knowing that I actually achieved it. Especially when it was difficult. Don't get me wrong I've been tempted to use SAM a few times to 100% some games but never have. These temptations are when the final locked achievements are tedious and time consuming.

Examples achievements for 1,000 Misc task and then 10,000 Misc task. Every other achievement done and you only just get the 1,000 misc Task completed. I ain't playing a game for 9 times longer than I had already just for an achievement or 2 when there is nothing left in the game but that grind.

SAM can only manage client sided achievements. Games like Killing Floor have achievements that cannot be managed by SAM. So your suggestion OP, is moot.

It's very useful in case achievement itself is bugged. You did everything to get it, yet it didn't unlock.

You are concerned about a person's personal achievements, yet I don't see any outrage from you about the friends you have with vac or game bans.

Because they stopped to ban cheaters.

What is the valve project actualy except the one consisting in making money while beeing incompetent?

If you get any idea let me know cause i gonna uninstall again this ♥♥♥♥ called csgo

The VAC-BAN.com site went down for another reason...

REDDIT isnt a source.

And anyway this is only basic communication, bulshitt, you wont know the true reason behind this site close, neither will I.

Also, steam database stopped providing stats: "We will no longer be scanning all Steam profiles for bans, it's not really practical to keep doing. "

We are actually in a fog.

Since you seem to know things , or trying to make us believe you do so, what is your opinion about all this matter???

Do you think that providing CSGO free2play and letting this massive cheater invasion go is due to an incompetence or a real strategy from valve?

For that 1 site where the site "owner" himself told us why he shut down that 1 site, yes.

Everything else you want me to answer is ALSO off-topic, derailing the thread for nothing and should be asked in a thread in the CS:GO forum instead.
