Erroneous Steam ban nets L4D 2 for users

Post by Drakonis »

Almost wish I'd been banned now
As many as 12 000 Steam users recent got an automated message over the last two weeks, erroneously informing them that they had been detected cheating in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and had their accounts banned. Steam has since made this up to owners of accounts that were incorrectly banned by giving those affected free copies of Left 4 Dead 2

You get a second copy for a friend as well, but mail em back. I'm sure they'll do something else for you.
