I don't disagree with you, I was just saying a ban for eternity is always harsh, especially since software, like the people that make it, isn't infallible.

so much ignorance here. This will help block sites like g2a from getting sales.

If you dont agree with it go to origin or buy retail lol

I could never even get Origin to launch on my computer, and games that are actually available physically cost a lot more when you buy the physical copies.

How so?
G2A works buy selling keys whereas this ban stops you gifting copies of the game via steam store/steam inventory.

So I could get banned from buying gifts for my friends just cos one does something stupid? This hurts people who get pleasure from pleasing others.

"Additionally, if an account has directly gifted a game to other players who have been VAC or permanently Game Banned, then that account will lose the ability to gift that game."

so, let's see if I understand this part.

I Give a game to someone who is already banned from that game; I can no longer gift that game.
I Give a game to someone who is LATER banned from that game; can I still gift that game?

Im guessing youve never bought a cheap gift trade from them have you?

While it does suck for people who trade gifts, this is a good thing for CS:GO and TF2, because the amount of cheaters in CS and TF2 is ridiculous.

Half related Q
How can you tell if someone's hacking in tf2?

No I have not, haven't made many g2a purchases but only received keys from them.

g2a has a little icon when they list all their prices that tells you whether it'll be delivered as a key or steam gift.
