Is Steam Achievement Manager Cheating?

  • Does using Steam Achievement Manager (SAM) or in-game achievement servers count as cheating?
    Is using server commands like !giveitems cheating?
    Downloading third party software to award something on your Steam account that you didn't do the intended way definitely doesn't sound like legal behaviour to me, and Steam's Subscriber Agreement is just broad enough to cover this activity, even if it doesn't give you a competitive advantage store.steampowered.com/subscr...
    If you've used SAM or achievement servers to get free hats in TF2, or any other reason, you probably don't need to worry. There's no record of anyone getting banned for using SAM or achievement servers, nor for providing the software. But that doesn't change the fact that unauthorised software changing your Steam account data is the very definitely of a cheat.
    I love feedback, good and bad, so please let me know what you think!

      That's part of it, but the chat command also exists to trigger all the item based achievements. The chat command itself doesn't do anything (they could make the command any words they choose !givecheeseburger for example) but that then triggers a "mod" on the server which tells Steam "this user just did the conditions for all of these achievements!" even though they of course didn't

      Because it's not so long as you're sure you met the requirements and the game was actually bugged. If you're cheating because you gave yourself an achievement that steam didn't give you, then you're just cheating a system that cheated you out of an achievement.

  • @darijusu7884
    @darijusu7884 4 года назад +58

    Well, while the use of it is cheating by definition, the guidelines you showed are applied to the steam marketplace, not the products steam sells, therefore, this explains why the people who have used SAM haven't been banned, or ever will. And even then, they can't profit off of these items, and the items they do get aren't good looking or valued by most. For example, Gibus and such other hats are often mocked for, by toxic players, so some f2p's won't even wear them.
    Regardless - it is cheating by definition, but it is not by how valve handles it. In their eyes, if you want a couple weapons and a few shitty hats, sure, whatever.

    An achievement is nothing more than knowing yourself that you was good enough to do it (what ever it is) and the game confirming it.

  • @gamingknight04

    The reason for which I'd use this is quite interesting:
    Recently, I tried the givemeall command on a server and after that, I felt quite ashamed of myself so I decided to reset my achievements.
    Well, now, I'd use SAM to give myself back the achievements that, for me, where taken by pure chance, like the Merasmus Tune thing or the Prime Cuts, which was literally random, achievements that, again, I had on my account before.
    Is it really that bad if I want to get back the achievements I already had?( except for those that are in your control)?

  • @dynastystar5515
    @dynastystar5515 Год назад +5

    Depends on what you're using them for, I've used it on like 2-3 games where I did what was required to get an achievement, yet for some reason the achievement didn't pop. So SAM is useful for making those pop. I think Stardew's Valley "Complete Shipment" was one such achievement for me, and the game has an in-game tab of stuff that you have to ship for it. I was tempted to use it for Tower Wars. For Tower Wars, I was gonna increase my achievement % for the game by getting what I could, but then I learned that because the rank servers were shut down and something else(I think the mod manager or something, I forget), the highest % I could've gotten for the game was like 30-40%, I didn't do the math though. The achievements that I COULD get sounded painful to get for somebody popping into the game years after the fact so I lost motivation to get those. It didn't seem right to use SAM to get the defunct achievements for a game that I wasn't 100%ing anyways, especially because I PROBABLY wouldn't have gotten them even if the servers were up.
    I really wish Devs would stop implementing achievements that require such a server to begin with.

Valve knows the existence of this program, that's why when they did the last sales with achievments points they put a limit, so you can only get an amount of points based on what you bought on steam

      I understand why you want to do that and there's certainly nothing malicious about your intent. But at the same time, the whole concept of an achievement is a goal you reach.
