I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that this system sounds like a good idea. Just like paid modding or jumping off a roof without a parachute. However, most of these only sound like good ideas when you're drunk or high.

This 'Game Ban' system that has been given to publishers/developers has the potential to be greatly abused. There just seems to be next to no way to monitor why users are being banned as everything is decided by the devs and only carried out by Steam. This system needs to be drastically changed or just removed altogether.

Do you think the Game Ban is a bad idea?

It just needs to be fixed

If they ban people for installing POV mod, I'd better play the pirated version of their game.

Yeah, it actually sucks when you get a ban for modding the game. However, when you buy the game, there is a think that's called "Terms & Conditions" with which you automatically agree, when you buy their game. That petition won't work a bit, don't waste your time. If the devs doesn't want the game to be modded - they can ban you for that, since I think they released a patch that somehow "kills" the modding.

Here ... I will close this thread (and go down forever in infamy) and possibly open a new one that's more to discuss this topic with no petition or anything as I am realizing the petition at present was unjustified and relied on evidence that has since been proven false.

I checked the users that posted these reviews and none of them that I checked had the notice on their profile, meaning that they were not banned with the system Valve introduced, they were just banned on the Rockstar thingy that you use when playing GTA.

I am not trying to justify the game ban system or Rockstar, but what you mention in the description of this thread is not true and quite misleading.

Edit : And you just edited that part out of the description :P

Yes, I now realize that and will make sure to do better in research before I do a thing like this again.

EDIT: And yes ... I was debating between outright closing the discussion and just editing it to change the focus and get rid of what I now realize is invalid and misleading information.

No worries. I just got curious in case some other game except CS:GO has started using this, but it seems there is no evidence yet about that.
