Retronplay Appeal (Complete)

[Retronplay]

Hi, I only have a single achievement that I unknowingly cheated. I was talking to someone from Exophase, and they informed me that changing pc time to unlock passage of time achievements was considering cheating. I don't wish to cheat anything on my profile, but I had changed my time to unlock the 'Don't play The Stanley Parable for 5 years' achievement, which im sure you're familiar with. Anyway, I cheated by changing my time. My steam account is a 100% account though, so if possible I would like to relock the entirety of the game's achievements as for it not to count towards my completion rate. (9 unlocked total).

Thanks!

Hey retronplay, thanks for creating an appeal about this. While this is a method we do not allow, this does not cause an account ban. If you would rather not relock the achievement, we can just have the game invalidated on trackers that do this. Relocking the entire game would also still count for your AGC, as 0%. Relocking a game doesnt fix AGC. Are you fine with it just being invalidated? Or would you still like the for the game to still count for points.

Hi, from what I've seen trackers like Exophase do not count 0% games towards the overall average completion for the profile as a whole. Am I wrong in thinking that? 0% games have never counted towards it in my past experience. Alternatively, my casual steam account is ~4 months away from the achievement legitimately. Would unlocking it legitimately on another account (with proof of course) validate the achievement on this account? If neither of these work, I go for completion rate on my profile, so as long as invalidating the game does not prevent me from participating on leaderboards, then I am ok with that. Thanks!

Any game that you have earned a single achievement in will count towards your total AGC, even if the achievement is relocked. For example, if i buy a new game, it won't count towards my AGC yet. Once i earn 1 achievement, it will start to count. If i relock that achievement, it will then count as 0% instead.

Unfortunately, unlocking the achievement on the other account would not be valid to have it unlocked on the 100% account of yours. Invaliding this game will NOT prevent you from participating in the leaderboards, so no worries there .

Before i can mark this as completed, can you please provide me with a link to your other steam account as well? Part of the appeals policy is making sure each account someone has is "clean" , that and to make sure no other issues pop up for you in the future.

Ah ok. Yeah, no problem. https://steamcommunity.com/id/EdgeOfPortal

That's my other account. I use that one just for casual play, and games that I don't see myself getting achievements. I don't believe that account has anything cheated but feel free to check!

So, If that's invalidated can i still get my profile to 100% by unlocking the remaining achievement even if it is invalidated? I'd really like to keep my steam account at 100% completion rate. If that can be done then I'm totally fine with invalidating it. Thanks!

Games with 0% won't count towards your Exophase stats, but they will count on your Steam achievement showcase.

[YouGotHitByGunner]

And there's no invalidation system in place for Exophase yet. So this game will still count on your stats until then. Or until it gets re-locked.

[Fabio]

Correct, even once exophase has the ability to invalidate games, you can still have a 100% AGC profile on the tracker.

All looks good to me! If any other problems pop up for you in the future, feel free to reach out and we'll see what we can do to help!
