Firestorm 104 / 4,754 Report Post Posted January 3, 2017 Just today, I wake up and started doing stuff until I saw this golden name on Steam. At first, I thought it was an moderator for that forums but then it didn't have any star or something, so I look over how he got "yellow name" Turned out; it was exploit. Supposedly, I think it was supposed to be rewarded by somewhat but I don't think it no longer being rewarded. Now it back and I think somebody found an exploit to use this. There is rumor that Steam is taking care of it and that will be handing out bans for those who doing the golden name / yellow name exploit. Going to leave off some examples. Profile with Golden Name / Yellow Name What you think about it? and should Steam be taking care of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
