Valve has restored access for over 12,000 Steam accounts after they were mistakenly banned from playing Modern Warfare 2.
According to an e-mail response sent to users from Valve President Gabe Newell, and later confirmed to IGN, the company's anti-cheating software built into its Steam service randomly began banning undeserving players over the past two weeks.
"The problem was that Steam would fail a signature check between the disk version of a DLL and a latent memory version," said Newell. "This was caused by a combination of conditions occurring while Steam was updating the disk image of a game."
Along with an apology, Valve has also given those affected a free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 along with an extra copy to give to a friend.
