Team Fortress 2 is one of Valve’s biggest games, and is consistently host to tens of thousands of multiplayer matches on Steam.

Of course, with that kind of population, there are bound to be cheaters, but Valve is taking a proactive approach in dealing with them

After some gamers were caught using exploits to further their gameplay against fellow competitors, Valve naturally patched the game to ensure fair play. But it went the next step to actually reward those players who did not cheat rather than just punish the cheaters.

From TF2 official blog:

Meanwhile, everyone who took the moral high road will soon be finding a new hat in their inventory. We’ve also significantly increased the chance of finding any of the existing hats.

Hear that sigh of relief? It’s Valve s customers, satisfied with a quick and personal response on an issue that could have gotten well out of hand. Kudos.
