Valve Unbans Thousands of MW2 Players
Over 12,000 accounts restored.
Valve has restored access for over 12,000 Steam accounts after they were mistakenly banned from playing Modern Warfare 2.

According to an e-mail response sent to users from Valve President Gabe Newell, and later confirmed to IGN, the company's anti-cheating software built into its Steam service randomly began banning undeserving players over the past two weeks.

"The problem was that Steam would fail a signature check between the disk version of a DLL and a latent memory version," said Newell. "This was caused by a combination of conditions occurring while Steam was updating the disk image of a game."

Along with an apology, Valve has also given those affected a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 along with an extra copy to give to a friend.
