Probably, i think the leveling is what slows smurfs getting into it more. Anyway I'm happy valve did it. The game isn't super expensive anyway if you genuinely want to give someone a copy after the sale.

welp I'm wrong! I thought you could do multiple accounts but if you hacked it flagged all of them.

Nope, valve is actually doing good things beyond addressing a single instance that people keep complaining about while ignoring all the other problems! It surprised me too.

If there's people who are willing to drop tons of CSGO copies just to gift themselves later on, I don't think one more $12 copy is going to stop them from buying it on a newly created account.

There's been plenty of people in the thread in the past talking about stockpiling csgo copies for themselves during sales. Usually paid for the proceeds from box drops. It being twice as expensive is something of a disincentive. It happened more when you didn't have to level in fairness.

A silver account seems to cost 20 euros if you go to a third party site. Probably gets banned quickly if they powered through casual with a spinbot to gain levels. So there's a demand for it anyway.

Or, alternatively, they stockpile them to sell to sites like G2A

Either way, it's a good move that shouldn't hurt legit players too much.

Maybe this was changed at some point, or the steam info is incorrect? I could almost swear that you were allowed to put as many accounts on 1 phone number as you want, but if you get banned on one, they all get banned.

Your experience is what I had assumed (and thought I read) of prime.

Can I upgrade more than one account with the same phone number?
No, you may only upgrade one CS:GO account to Prime status with your qualifying phone number at any given time.
I accidentally upgraded the wrong account!
Can I upgrade a different account instead?
Yes, after upgrading a CS:GO account to Prime Matchmaking players have three days (72 hours) to upgrade a different CS:GO account using the same phone number. This will remove Prime Account Matchmaking from the original account the phone number was associated with.
After three days, players must wait six months before using the same phone number to upgrade a different CS:GO account to Prime Matchmaking.

Interesting that a tool that changes the resolution of the windows timer is getting people nuked. If I'm reading this right, that is.

Just tap into your Quake senses and time those bomb plants like the powerups you used to way back in the day

I don't necessarily believe it but I'd also rather not get a false positive ban if it ends up being true. Pretty sure I don't have any windows timer resolution bullshit on my computer

poo poo like that happened to some others recently. we thought it was the opposition ddosing the server to get a win/draw because they were ctside. It was highly dubious cause we were obviously going to win without it.
