Many cheaters flaunt expensive inventories—knives, gloves, rare stickers—not just for status, but to mask their behavior. These accounts often open cases aggressively, driving revenue for Valve. If banned en masse, their inventories could flood the market, causing a price crash in high-tier items.

By banning only a fraction of cheaters, Valve may be controlling supply: banned accounts lose access to their inventories, this removes items from circulation, creating scarcity. Scarcity drives prices up, which benefits Valve through increased case openings and trading volume.

Temporary bans or cooldowns serve as a pressure valve: they discourage blatant cheating without triggering mass inventory liquidation. This keeps cheaters in the ecosystem—spending, trading, and opening cases—without destabilizing the market.

Players are kept in a state of hopeful frustration: “Maybe next update will fix it.”, “Maybe this cheater will get banned.”. This emotional tension keeps players engaged, spending, and returning—despite the toxicity.

When cheating becomes endemic, players lower expectations. Valve avoids accountability by making cheating feel like a community problem rather than a systemic one.

Reddit discussions highlight accounts with tens of thousands of euros in inventory still active despite known cheating. Players report that bans are slow or absent, even with overwhelming evidence. Ban waves do happen—but often feel like market resets, not justice.

Possible solutions include inventory freeze before ban, transparent ban metrics, third-party watchlists, and reputation-based matchmaking.

Valve’s silence and opacity leave room for speculation—but the patterns are hard to ignore. The cheating problem may not be a technical failure, but a strategic compromise: tolerating a certain level of cheating to keep the market profitable and the player base emotionally invested.

There’s a compelling economic logic behind the idea that Valve may be managing cheating rather than eliminating it outright.

my save and cloud files seem to be gone no idea how. i was using bazzite running steamos on my ally and i exited the game through the steam menu, when i started up the game again everything was gone?

after that sell all ur skins ( most important ).
after that sell all ur skins ( most important ).
after that sell all ur skins ( most important ).
after that sell all ur skins ( most important ).
after that dont touch the game and remove it from ur library until volvo fix.
after that go play another game ( a game with a good anticheat unlike cs2 if possible )

and u might say what did i do after i done this steps?
well, u helped crash the market, u made playerbase go down, u have made volvo lose moni, and most likely u have left the game as a legit so all the cheaters can do hvh with each other until the go insane and kill them self, after that cs2 player base is now at a all time peak of 6 players, 5 of them are the cheaters that didnt kill them self, and the other one is just a lone volvo cs2 dev, really nice tut if u ask me

You can sort, & sift through, & actually read the reviews that is when they are actually useful... Sort by playtime helps a bunch.

As I enjoy doing, I even leave reviews for games I particularly enjoy. They would just be checklists in Epic...

Steam has third party vendors you can get their keys from here.

Here: https://www.cheapshark.com/

with this site, & it's sorting system to show Steam keys, I rarely pay much of anything for AAA games, as why should I?

And also yay bundles. Which are usually exclusively Steam keys.

If I'm at my computer I'm getting ready to use Steam or I already am. That's why having other's would be annoying.

That's why it's set to start @ startup as it's my gaming app. I don't need more than one.

So at the end of the day it comes down to "personal preference".

It's not that Epic is bad, it's because people got used to Steam and made it part of their lives.

There are people threatening and screaming both in Steam, Youtube, Reddit that they won't buy the game because "no Steam = no buy".
Like i said in my original post, they act like 10 year olds, they have been brainwashed.

The save is local.
