The possibility of valve suspending or banning someone over this is very remote, maybe with new releases is more likely but with games that old, like this one, I don't think so.
I mean I don't even know if it is technically possible to get banned, because I don't think that steam is sending info to their servers about what files you are running on your disk. That's what windows 8/10 does and I think that Gabe newell doesn't like that kind of stuff. Yes I know they are verifying the files but that's a lot different from snooping inside the binaries .
I think that only on multiplayer games you can get flagged or banned about this kinda of stuff. And those games have their own system to check the binaries.

Possibly, though not on the phone where no such button appears.
Hmm, that’s probably something for Liam to look into.
