Topic. I know we as players can ban others from our lobbies, but does anyone ever get banned from the game outright, for things like cheating/toxicity etc?

External link →I remember one case specifically of a player going around lobbies, teamkilling and impersonating the devs.
They got their Steam ID banned and cannot join lobbies anymore.
Aren’t you thinking of the one that impersonated you?
Because they can sue Steam, and someone can go to jail for stealing their game - unless they can prove wrongdoing.
Which is only possible if there was a written agreement about the required in-game behaviour.
If you use Steam, you’ve agreed to their Terms of Service.
Don't even need to, you can just simply family share the game to a fresh account and now you copy paste your save file and boom, can join lobbies.
You can make infinite amount of accounts and do this with only one purchase.
I heavily doubt that anyone has been banned off of steam, there is no proof to verify due to the lack of centralized servers, hence hosts can fabricate anything to implicate a user.
Steam hasn't banned anyone off of drg. It's simply not possible to verify anything.
Steam tracks the owner of a game. As a developer you can restrict users using a game shared by a banned account.
Also, AFAIK family sharing requires the account to be verified with a minimum spending of $5.
