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?

    Windows 10 already gives you the inhouse option to randomize MACs, and I believe it’s even switched on by default. So even if they check it, it probably wouldn’t do any good. Doubt IP addresses matter since plenty of people use a VPN or shared connections in a house with multiple occupants, student dorm and whatnot, so I don’t think they link those.
