Think NFTs. Both aren't that much different from each other. No one needs them but people still buy them.


Valve didn't bother distinguishing the two. Using an unauthorized 3rd party tool that hacks into a VAC-protected game process is enough to warrant a ban.
The "advantage" comes from you skipping payment while using something you're supposed to "own", aka have purchased. Think as if you just screenshot an NFT. The blockchain won't recognize you as the owner, and neither does Valve if you apply skins via skin-changers, except Valve will punish you if you attempt it.

AGAIN: VAC bans for cheats, it does not care how many skins you steal, it DOES NOT ban for stealing skins, that is completely coincidental.

SKIN-CHANGERS are CHEATS as they modify protected game memory/files. THAT is why accounts using them get banned. It is NOT monetary. It is because skin changers modify these locations and VAC bans for THAT.

Nothing to do with money directly. It's because of what SKIN-changers do and CAN do. There is no need to differentiate between different aspects as it id NOT allowed.

MODIFYING game memory or files will result in a VAC ban. Period.

alright, then stop calling me a cheater. Alright i got banned rightfuly (partialy) but i didnt cheat yes yes skin changers are "cheats" because they alter the games memory but they dont give me an unfair advantage so im not a cheater

Still not wiling to accept you screwed up... Maybe you didn't use it for an unfair advantage. VAC still bans for it as it CAN be used to give an advantage. VAC does not detect intentions, only cheats.

Why, game bans are for other reasons. VAC detected a cheat. VAC bans for that. Game bans are for other reasons.

because i just "cheated" in csgo

[Silicon Vampire]

Yeah, AND?

Using a cheat that VAC detects earns a VAC ban. There is no surprise there. At all.

Why though? You still wouldn't be able to trade your items, connect to VAC secured servers and with a game ban you'd have a permanent mark on your profile page.
At least a VAC ban is no longer publicly shown after seven years. A game ban stays.

Not reading anything, I see.


Not going to happen... the items are permanently locked to the account, like ANY account which earns a VAC ban.
