Any Steam Deck that's had a VAC banned account sign into it should be bricked as punishment.

This isn't Nintendo.

Which is just going to lead to innocent user's Steam Decks getting bricked if they bought a used Steam Deck..... Like many people have.

Thankfully i'm not too worried about Valve listening to you.

That is a terrible, awful idea.

Valve's not stupid enough to do that.

Valve isn't going to brick anything, especially with the amount of hijacked accounts that get banned from the hijackers.

More like it's time to stop taking video games so seriously.

Bricking decks really isn't going to fix the cheating problem, since the cheats are pretty much exclusively run on the PC.

I feel like it's just wanting more punishment than bans even though the cheats aren't happening on the Deck, take their Deck away for cheating.

Why not send the Pinkertons after them instead?

Whenever a cheater gets caught and wants to play again what would we say? "Get a new account. Buy the game again" Adding, "buy a new multi hundred dolor console" to that list doesn't sound so bad.
