Valve Mistakenly Bans Modern Warfare 2 Players, Issues Free Copies Of Left 4 Dead 2

Valve’s anti cheat software mistakenly banned legit Modern Warfare 2 players from playing online.

Well, Valve was so sorry in fact that they gave two copies of Left 4 Dead 2 to those affected, one to keep and another to give as a gift via Steam.

“Hello, recently, your Steam account was erroneously banned from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This was our mistake, and I apologize for any frustration or angst it may have caused you,” read a message from Gabe Newell to those who were given the boot.

“We have reversed the ban, restoring your access to the game. In addition, we have given you a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 to give as a gift on Steam, plus a free copy for yourself if you didn’t already own the game.”
