That's pretty overreacting imho. Nobody cares about skins on community servers anyway. They don't affect the market or anything. So lifetime banning servers which cost some people up to a couple of thousand dollars is really not that nice (to say the least). With zombie mod they also removed the most played mod on the community servers and declared it illegal. Valve didn't care for the community made content from the beggining of CS:GO, which is kinda strange, because it was a huge part of 1.6 and CSS. But now it feels like they are thinking: "Actually we didn't want to have community servers at all in GO. We just implemented them because everyone was used to them. But now we decided to slowly remove them one step at a time." I think this is a major misstep from Valve. They already lost a lot of support from the community with their completely redundant operations and messed up patches. But i guess they can afford to do it, because there is no competition to CS. | ||

That makes sense, I thought it was just inventory items. But if they are removing servers that have mods like those it does seem rather over reaching. Again I dont care personally but I can see how that is problematic. | ||

No time eh? You mean they didn't post something 6 months ago about this or anything, you mean something like this? Please note the date. This isn't some attack on private servers, this is an attack on servers who were trying to trade mods for "donations", the fact that Valve has asked them to stop, gave them half a year to stop, and they still didn't stop, what did you actually expect to happen? It wasn't zombie mod that was the trigger, it was the fake-items-for-donations system that's in place. | ||

It wasn't zombie mod that was the trigger, it was the fake-items-for-donations system that's in place. So, where does this say anything about punishment or serverbans? It's a kind request which is totally the right thing to do. But there should be a step between "we kindly ask you" and "FUCK YOU !!! BAN BAN BAN BAN !!!!" And while the primary target may be mods -dons trade servers it doesn't change the fact that a huge amount of private servers are affected. And i didn't say that zombie mod was the trigger, it's a victim of this as well which hurts the community even more, because it was the most played CS custom mod. Banning servers is one thing. Forbidding mods has nothing to do with this. | ||

I disagree that it doesn't affect the market, I do think it hurts the sales of regular skins, since certain player might consider custom ones as an alternative to regular ones. It might be marginal, but the profit based incentives for valve to implement this change are there. I also think the amount of people that care about custom skins is small enough for them to do this without significant blowback. Edit: I accidentally some words. | ||

Thought that step was "we'll wait 6 months for you to stop this shit" as detailed by someone else earlier. | ||

Couldnt they have just put a report system in place or have people submit their modifications to servers for review on whether they fell within "If for some reason you are unable or unsure of whether a particular plugin should be removed, feel free to contact us." was in the statement. Also like Valve and others said, if your community servers "didn't care about skins" then they never would've had those knife mods in the first place. They were installed because people DO care about skins and want to pretend to have them without actually paying for them. Which is what Valve is against. | ||

Sure, but I wasnt talking about there not being consequences, I was asking if it was possible to manage it and minimize the collateral. I dont see why it cant be. Edit: Oh fair enough, was to lazy to read it. My bad. | ||
