Valve blocks automated, hardware-assisted input software in CS2 banwave

Valve has finally laid down judgement on the use of automated, hardware-assisted input software in its games, chiefly CS2. The company officially forbade the use of such software, including Razer’s Snap Tap, and other keyboard technologies.

Valve announced this in a specialized update release for Counter-Strike 2 today, Aug. 19, claiming it needed to “draw a clear line” regarding any scripting or “automating player commands.” While some forms of automation had previously “gained acceptance” and were allowed by Valve, the famed publisher believes recent developments for this particular keyboard software have now “blurred the line between manual input and automation.” This lead the company to lay down the ban hammer on any such assistance. The CS2 devs also warned any user caught using such tools will be promptly kicked from their match.
