IP/CCard- linked Steam accounts. Region Locks - especially for high ping russians. Better Anti-cheating measures. Make Prime matter. Sell the game @ 200€ and we are golden; until that point is reached, both new players and veterans are ♥♥♥♥ upon on a daily basis. Go cheaters go!
Edit in 2020: Same ♥♥♥♥ different year.
Edit in late 2021: Same ♥♥♥♥, but worse.
Edit mid 2022: :-D....... from 10% cheaters in every map, to around 25-30%; noice
Edit late 2022: Uninstalled this garbage finally! now the russians can have even more space on a platform that clearly supports the russians. Neutral my ass, valve are just greedy.
Edit May 2023: I give up. I love the game but hate the players in it. Looking forward to AI populating the servers. We are up to 34% cheaters now, maybe even higher shadow figures. Russians crowd the servers and play like ♥♥♥♥. Valve supports terrorists, in essence. It's a dark world to live in.
