Valve imposed a community ban on a Steam user named St4ck, who was involved in item trading for Counter-Strike 2 and had an estimated inventory worth $1.5 million. This ban raised questions and curiosity among users.
St4ck’s Steam account was hit with a community ban! Fortunately, it was later lifted
As you may know, some items in Counter-Strike 2 are quite valuable, with prices reaching thousands of dollars. The high prices have created a significant market in this area. St4ck, the user in question, is engaged in third-party item trading and holds a prominent position in this market, not only because of the value of their inventory but also due to their high Steam level.
Fortunately, St4ck’s community ban was lifted after some time, but the exact reason for the restriction is still unclear. There have been claims that the ban was related to a violation of Steam rules in their communication.
However, this possibility seems rather low. There have also been rumors of fraudulent activities during item sales involving St4ck. It is essential to consider that Valve does not tolerate such issues.
If St4ck’s community ban had not been lifted, it would have resulted in a significant loss. In their inventory, they had items such as a $400,000 AWP Dragon Lore, five Katowice 2014 foil stickers, each worth $90,000, and various weapons and knives with prices ranging from $5,000 to $40,000. There were millions of valuable and less valuable items in their inventory.
