Creator Appeal (Complete)

[Creator]

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read my appeal.

I was always really into achievements, and when my friend introduced me to SAM back in 2014 it felt like receiving my first Action Replay for my Gameboy.
However after trying it on a few games, it felt empty. As if there was no point to playing those games anymore. I lost the great feeling of accomplishment.
So I went ahead and reverted most of the damage, except for a few games noted below.

Discord: Creator#7532
Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/gamegrounds/
Games:

Guardians of Middle-Earth
- I believe I've decided to keep this one then, because the game was dead/dying or the servers weren't on anymore. I've deleted them all now.

Payday 2
- I remember why I kept this one, I'm a huge Payday fan since The Heist, and these achievements alone would unlock a lot of in-game cosmetics/other items.
I've deleted all the SAM achievements, along with all my progress for this game with pain in my heart. BUT, it made me really excited to play this game again and start fresh.

Batman: Arkham Asylam GOTY Edition
- This is definitely one of my favorite single player games of all time, and I remember when cheating these achievements back in 2014 that I still kept the "Beat the game on X difficulty" achievements locked
so I could still play this game for a reason. I've since deleted all of these achievements too.

Now, these are all the games I remember having unfair achievements. It's hard for me to keep track of all of my games, and which ones I cheated 5 years ago but I HOPE I'm 100% clean now.
If your tool finds anything else, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to purge it!

Thanks for your time
Sincerely,

Jim

Hi Creator, thanks for creating an appeal. After going through your profile, i only have a couple of questions. Everything else looks fine!

Yet Another Zombie Defense, LYNE, and LEGO Lord of the Rings all have a sizeable cluster of achievements all unlocked at the same time, and i was unable to find similar patterns with other profiles. Do you remember if you used SAM with these as well? Or if there was something else that might have caused the clusters?

[Creator]

Hey Fabio, thanks for the fast reply.

I see! Those were definitely SAM'd aswell, I'll lock them asap. Is it okay if I keep the legit achievements from Lego LOTR? They took some time, and I've been playing quite some of it fairly recently.

I just realized i didn't mention the other games i had in a notepad opened in the background, my mistake.
- Call of duty modern warfare 2 has a cluster from 2010 with several oft he special ops mission achievements that do not look normal
- Call of duty ghosts has a small cluster as well
- Sniper elite v2 has a small cluster in 2018, the most recent unlocked in it
- Sniper elite 3 has the same thing

For any games you have achievements you are relocking, you can keep the ones that you know were obtained legitimately!

All set, removed the cheevo's you've mentioned.

I just updated each of the games to show that they were actually relocked on your trackers. Thanks for your patience with the appeal process. I'll be marking this as complete within the next couple of hours. If anything pops up in the future, feel free to let one of us know and we'll see what we can do to help.
