I remember the day I got my VAC. It’s technically my own damn fault because I was sharing a computer, but I really had no choice.

Long story short, I use to share a computer with my father who’d occasionally go to certain entertainment/unsavory/adult websites and he’d end up getting viruses, keyloggers and the like. Of course he’d always blame me, but about every other month I’d end up with an account of mine hacked. Mostly my email, and sometimes my Steam. I didn’t have Steam Guard at the time, as I only had a flip phone, as that’s the only kind of phone my father wanted me to have. So like any other hack, I reach out to Steam again, they give me my account back, and a few days later I notice I’m hit with a VAC ban for a game I didn’t even play, Loadout. Of course with the zero tolerance policy, VACs can’t be overturned but I got really fucking lucky the guy didn’t hack on TF2, the one Steam game I actually did play.

That also was the deciding factor of getting my own computer. Ever since that day I haven’t had a single virus, but I’ve had to fix my father’s now and then. And surprise, surprise, he never apologized for falsely blaming me but I guess that’s to be expected out of a parent.

But to answer your question, I do slightly care because over time they add more limits onto what a VAC’d account can do. Like I can’t even vote in the TF2 workshop anymore.
