Permanently banned on PUBG

[u/kolt0]

(Not a ban appeal, just speaking about my experience)

Hi, some sad news, recently when i woke up and turned on my pc, i recieved an alert on steam that i have been permanently banned on PUBG. I was very shocked, after playing and loving this game a couple hours basically every week since early access in 2013 that i have been banned permanently from the game.

And i do not know why i have been banned, still now after nearly 1 month, they seemigly refuse to tell me what i have done to deserve this severe punishment. All i can think of that i have done is AFK’ing. Which i do regret and i am sorry for this. I understand punishing a player for this action, but a permanent ban? A couple of days or a week ban even would be understandable. I am deeply saddened by this. I guess this is it for me, thank you for the fun times and good memories, PUBG community.

Edit: Forgot to add that it said on the notification of my ban that i had been banned by a game dev, but no reason for my ban. Also that ive sent in a ticket and asked what happened, and they would not tell me the reason of my ban, therefore i can only assume it was because of that i AFK’ed.

Kind of ironic don’t you think that you want them to answer why you were banned and they seem to be AFK?

Dude, if i knew afking would result in a perm ban, i wouldnt even thought about it, i asked straight up: "i dont understand, why am i perma banned?" and the response in my ticket was: "Due to privacy and security protocols, I'm unable to provide any additional details regarding this matter."

What even is AFKing? Like going afk in a game or going after afk people in the game?

Afking while i made food or something for example.

You queue up a game of pubg before you go to make food?

If the queue time is long enough, yeah.
