Valve brings down the ban hammer, permanently removes over 40,000 Dota 2 cheaters
Valve is not playing around with bad actors in the Dota 2 community right now, actively banning more than 40,000 accounts permanently amidst continued issues with exploits and other problems in the game.
This specific set of bans was part of a clean-up effort from Valve as the company worked to fix various backend issues that allowed these cheats to happen in the first place.
