This isn't about stopping cheaters (cheat detection). This is about stopping repeat cheaters trying to ban evade. Detecting cheats, especially nowadays with hardware cheats (DMA, etc), is an entirely different ballgame.

IMHO, one of the most effective way to stop ban evaders is to actually charge money for the game.

At the time of the events in the blog, CS:GO was NOT free, and yet there were still cheaters that apparently had access to 80+ accounts.

That's fair. There will always be cheaters like this. However, anecdotally, after CS or any other game I've played that went free-to-play, cheaters became a much much larger problem: from seeing one every now and again, to at least one in nearly every match.
