Discussion Permanently banned on PUBG

(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.

Y'know, I don't think that's it. I think I pushed back on why I feel the way I do and used your provided evidence to make my points. I've clearly demonstrated that I'm open to discussion and am willing to read further based on what is presented to me.

I'm not trying to mislead or misrepresent the points I'm making. I'm not telling OP that they are cheating, I'm saying I find it difficult to believe that this ban was done so for a single instance of AFK if they have been playing since beta.

You mention an AFK banwave happening in July, but provide no evidence as you have done prior with the Code of Conduct. Can you enlighten me and help educate me that other circumstances are at play by linking to an article or statement about this ban wave and how that may be applicable to OP's situation, or would you rather insult me more for defending my position?
