Hypothetically, if someone were to download a Steam game from FG what’s the best operating procedure to avoid being Steam banned? For example, I understand that steam_api.dll will often be quarantined by MS Defender because the game uses a modded version of that file. Once it’s restored what steps would you take to proceed? Log out of steam? Disable internet access? Kill all Steam processes?

    I’ve never heard of a Steam ban for running a pirated game that uses cracked steam_api.dll. The whole point of the cracked .dll is that it doesn’t communicate with Steam anymore.
