Can Third-Party Software Get Your Game Account Banned?
Closed thread Closed by archiveDoes anyone else find it confusing when a third-party tool says it's compatible with a game, but the game's rules may still prohibit it?
I'm trying to understand the difference between software that technically runs and software that's actually allowed. Those seem like two very different questions.

Compatibility means it may run. It doesn't mean the developer approves of it.
Also, don't treat a seller's ban-risk claims as official information. Check the game's own rules and enforcement policies.
This applies to more than cheats, honestly. Mods, automation and other third-party tools can all have different rules depending on the game.
So the only reliable place to confirm what's allowed is the official policy?
That's the sensible starting point. If the policy is unclear, ask official support rather than relying on a sales page.
And remember that nobody outside the developer can guarantee what enforcement will happen in every situation.
