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?

    So sandbox completely? That’s doable. I imagine to have a Steam account completely separate from your primary account, you’d need to never share libraries and avoid matching IPs. Do you think Steam looks at hardware MAC addresses?

      At that point why don’t you just play a pirated version on the game lol it seems like less of a hassle
