Today my friend went home and tried to log into steam but it says something about being banned? Can your steam account be banned? And if so for what reasons? he still shows up in my friends list. He has bought probably $1000+ in games, and im not exaggerating
Post his steam profile.
Yes, you can get your Steam account banned if you cheat.
What kind of ban? VAC ban or disabled account?
Hacking, playing an unreleased game, etc.

VAC banning doesn't stop you from logging in. Most likely his account was disabled for one reason or another (most of the time it's trying to sell shit under Source without Valve's consent).
A message will appear when you get VAC banned though, so it's probably that.
That's nice of them. Give them $1000 and you still have the chance of getting banned.

Money =/= protection
I spent over 200$ on ikariam for me and my friend, but we both got permabanned for sharing a computer. He must have messed up and so he was punished. He could have spent 2k on steam and still have been banned.

Just saying, though.
There was a reason he was banned. I don't think Valve would just go to random accounts and start banning people.

What's the point of having rules if one can just spend enough money on games to be able to ignore them?
[QUOTE=alphaspida;20920021]Just saying[/QUOTE]
Im not saying that they shouldn't ban his account for cheating or whatever, but the other games he has he cant play without logging into his steam account
*Inserts illogical statement*
Just saying.

He was banned for a reason. Its his own fault.
Maybe he will rebuy them and stop scamming/cheating whatever he did :v:

Bad spellers always get "there" ways too.
On topic; When you sign up for Steam it shows you the ToS. I'm pretty sure there's a section dedicated to "no sharing accounts etc."
One time steam accidentally disabled my account, I opened a ticket and I was back online in a few hours.
Thank god for Retail games. :D

Sounds like bullshit.
They don't disable accounts for using mods and if you got vac'd, I kinda doubt you got unbanned.
A Steam account can be disabled if somebody says that that account has been hacked/taken from them etc. It happened to Jason278 when he lost his account, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to me when my account got taken from a keylogger my sister downloaded.
Maybe he sucks at gaming.
