Tidligt i 2015 var der en skandale omkring den professionelle Counter-Strike: Global Offensive-scene, hvor man fandt ud af, at der foregik en del matchfixing, altså hold der tabte med vilje. Valve har nu delt deres endelige dom i sagen, og de har besluttet sig for at banne de ansvarlige spillere, permanent. Dem der bliver fanget i at udføre samme handling i fremtiden, vil lide samme skæbne.
Gennem en officiel pressemeddelse siger Valve:
"Some individuals will seek opportunities to take advantage of their fans. We will continue to take whatever action we think is necessary to protect the entertainment value created by professional Counter-Strike, including, on occasion, terminating our relationship with individuals who have demonstrated a willingness to exploit their fans' faith in the integrity of the sport."
