I usually relied on cheat engine for games...I rarely played online games because I felt too much stress and pressure. But I do use cheat engines and trainers for single-player titles, like Metal Gear Phantom Pain. I think it might have been connected to online features, but I didn’t see any evidence of that. On my Steam profile, someone commented that I don’t even play the game, which upset them and led to accusations. Should I be concerned?

I believe you might face a ban, though I'm not sure. Please don't type this way.

Isn't this game supposed to be CSGO? People often label folks as hackers, but you should be okay. I relied on Cheat Engine for Phantom because of the multitasking problems, and that’s understandable.

I don’t play CS:GO—it was used for phantom pain management, and thank you. I felt comforted.

It seems you're referring to phantom pain and online resources. Would you like information or support related to that?

You only tried Phantom Pain in single-player mode, but it seems the core features were available in both versions.

It's unfair to back creators of those engines. You won't face a full account ban, but they might restrict access to certain games. A complete ban would need misuse of profile or forum features.

As long as you're not tampering with server systems, I don't think you'll face consequences. Even if your account is restricted, it should still function for online play, though you won't be able to join multiplayer sessions in secured games. I remember getting banned from CS 1.6 around 2002 on another account, so I can't participate in VAC-protected matches anymore. However, I can still use the Steam library and other services.
