Report cheaters in game.

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.

Also, people have to actually rewport it, which most people *don't.* At all.

And yet another person that doesn't know much about how detecting cheats works...

Except staff members made it clear back in the old SPUF forums that they lose more by legit players quitting due to cheaters than they profit by cheaters rebuying the game.

More people that use cheats can get banned and they they will buy a new account; yes that can be true, but "legit player" will not want to play with them so they will start to stop playing the game then make bad reviews and then people will not pick up the game from those reviews and then those that stopped playing will tell their freinds to not pick it up since there are alot of cheaters and so on till the game dies.

This is explained pretty good in the Steam Dev Days video (around 6:00).
