Yeah - that's why I posted here... Hoping for some clarification. I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE Idle Master, but not worth a ban!

To my knowledge the statement is just trolling. I would hope that if Valve chose to start banning people for using Idle Master that they would give me a heads up first so that I could inform users and take the tool offline. I've let them know that if they took any issue at all with the program that they can simply inform me as such and I will happily remove it.

The new version of Idle Master alone has had almost 75,000 downloads since it was released less than 3 weeks ago. That would be a lot of users to ban, many of them being Valve's best customers due to the nature of the application.

EDIT: I'm not saying it's impossible (because we all know how Valve communicates these sorts of things) but I'm saying it's unlikely.

Yeah - I kind of thought so too, but was just concerned.

I appreciate you replying to this - and thank you for making this great program! The new version is amazing!

How would Valve be tracking idle master users anyways? As far as i can understand idlemaster just simulates playing the game. How would steam prove that I wasnt just opening the game and idling it manually (like I have done a couple times in the early days of trading cards).

Only thing that someone pointed out to me earlier today was that Valve can see that the client does not say "Installed" for the game.

But I highly doubt that type of info is sent back to Valve though as it would serve no purpose in the past.

At the end of the day if Valve wanted to stop it they would have by now. Look at SAM that does this as well as allow you to mark achieves as done and THAT is still around with no issues.
