I thought you could always get VAC banned by using SAM on a vac enabled game?

Yikes, where did you see that?

It kind of blows my mind that SAM still exists/works. I remember using it like 5-6 years ago to unlock TF2 achievements or something, and even back then it seemed sketchy as hell.
Did I just win 3 games today, from Diedac, YianGaruga, and Dragoon En Regalia?
I just rummaged through games last week for giveaways, but I offered to family first and they unabashedly took them all! I'll rummage through some more now.
im just one of the many many people who has a 4S and had their wi-fi busted since 7.0 was released
sometimes it works, most time it doesnt, sometimes it works for a few seconds, sometimes it locks your iphone up, etc etc etc. its completely random too, tonight for example, it wont connect at all, or when it does, it dies after 5 seconds.
its fun, and none of the "fixes" work, the only one I havent tried is the "heat it up with a fucking hairdrier and then put it in the fridge" (yes, thats apparently a real thing) because I was never one to do these extreme methods

SAM and card idling are totally separate processes.

Card idling can be done without using SAM.
Now I wonder if Playfire will start to ban SAM users as well..

Thanks for the invite whomever did it!
This is pretty much the polar opposite of cool, but playing over skype with one person narrating (preferably playing the music through the call) is a lot of fun too.
Awesome, thanks! Aww, it doesn't show the names side by side, though. :X I might still make another one!

That would actually be a good idea, and would save me a lot of googling because I want to tag my GAF friends too.
So if you do it you'll have my eternal thanks!

They already do.

Yup, boot up the game and alt + tab away
or use Saoirse's text file trick to make steam youre running the game when youre running another one (good for people with monthly caps)
edit: beaten like the USA was tonight
It was convenient, though. Don't have to download and start the game, don't have to modify any files etc.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking the thread for a bit and felt I should actually contribute. Can't wait to be home from work tomorrow so I can play some of my summer sales backlog. Will also put up some keys this weekend from some humble bundles in the past.

Yea i thought JaseC posted another way to do it using .ini files a few weeks ago, could be wrong though

They don't really crack down on it though, which is confusing because those users are literally stealing money from them.

What is this word "play" you are talking about?
So friggin' worth it.
BACONNNNNN C:
Uhm. Yeah ok. <3
Guaranteed worth it
No, the ruling was using it while NOT IN the VAC-enabled game was fine. The word is: Valve doesn't care about achievements so most people aren't banned.
But this latest wave of VAC bans for CS:GO has caused panic in regards to some people saying SAM and "third party memory editors" (like Cheat Engine?) are causing some of the GO bans besides the "known cheats" that Valve detected for CS:GO only (and a League hack which is weird since that isn't on Steam). It's making me really wonder what Valve's latest banwave is going for.

Haha you've beaten me on my last two posts. I respectfully yield!
My dying words will be "I did it for the bacon."

You got me. I will end up staring at my library and not playing anything. It happens all the time.

SAM means Steam Achievement Manager. It's a program that lets you idle games without installing them. You can also edit your achievements but then you risk getting in trouble.

i'm very scepticle. Technically you COULD get banned, but I don't think anyone really cares.

xD Much appreciated, mate!
There, I got you mate!
But really, rumors are dangerous for this kind of thing.
Well, you can get card drops without installing dozens of gigabytes of game.
whats the benefit of idling games without installing them?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
You get the cards without the time, bandwidth, or hard drive space required to download them (or the CPU time/usage)
Card drops in games with cards?

You get card drops. You can sell those or make badges from the cards. Though most people I know of mainly use SAM for achievements, even if they don't admit doing it.
