That's true. But Pbbans is more of a global ban list rather then a better a cheat detect.

More games use PB though, and then you can use PBBans which, iirc, is a global ban list for all PB games.

No, but you forgot about the time EA was a publisher for Valve, so you earn one free failboat trip for sarcasm in a discussion you know little about.

You seem to not be comprehending my point. My point was that Valves relationship with other devs using steam is no more of a conflict of interests than your average publisher. No one is asking EA to spin off their publishing and dev divisions. In regards to a conflict of interests with them putting out valve products only on steam....its a smart business decision. Why would they ever pay someone else for digital dist when they've already got it all set up? Again, your sarcasm seems to be extremely misplaced and off point.

Sounds like a bit of jealousy to me. Valve
