Regarding User Bans

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello, players!

We want to inform you that exploiting bugs to gain an unfair advantage over other players is considered a form of cheating, which will lead to your account being banned from the game.

Catherine Walker (CEO) comments on the situation:

We deeply regret that a security vulnerability in the game has led to such serious consequences and disagreements within our community.We must all remember that if you find someone’s wallet on the street and take money from it, the police won’t care that the victim lost it. You will be the one judged.Before banning players, we extensively consulted with Steam employees to confirm whether our game can be considered multiplayer and whether it was ethical to ban players who exploited bugs to obtain illegal items.To those accusing us of using this loophole to deceive, first, provide evidence to avoid making empty claims. Second, you should have reported the bug to us before the bans were issued.As an apology to the gaming community, I have decided to dismiss every seventh employee working on Collectibles! as a lesson. According to the contracts with the dismissed workers, we will also take custody of their firstborns to train them as new specialists to fill the vacated positions.


Sincerely,
The VHC Team!
