Steam is incredibly good at returning hacked accounts. A personal experience of mine: I was hanging with a friend and it turned out he had clicked a disguised link that led to his account being hacked. He got that account back before the day was over with, and without many issues other than a single game ban (that he just hasn't bothered to see about getting lifted)

They will never lift a game ban from a hacked profile.

Otherwise you could just VPN while hacking on games and say "whoops my account was hacked pls remove ban".

Yeah. Learned this the hard way. Some Russian guy took my account while I was in the army so I didn‘t notice. Got me banned in CS:GO and took all of my items worth several 100 dollars.

I get why they can‘t lift the ban but I don‘t understand why they wouldn‘t return my items.
