    Along that line of thinking, I’d be nice if there were a “cheating allowed” sandbox option. A VAC enabled game mode where cheating is explicitly allowed. Cheat in it, no harm done, people get to experiment, VAC gets to learn about potential cheating methods they hadn’t considered, and nobody gets banned. Do it outside the sandbox and down comes the banhammer.

      That’s a neat idea, and on the surface sounds good. I am wondering whether there are unseen issues with this type of setup.

        The guy you’re commenting is not a hacker or he would know about cheat lobbys and servers. No excuses for cheaters in any way. If they really wanted they can go to cheat lobbys

        Edit: Exactly what it says a server or lobby that let’s you cheat specifically for cheaters to not get banned.
