[FREE] Digital Homicide death throes Giveaways (Change in keys available)

valve tends to not care what people do, until they start using valves services in ways that valve doesnt like

That is every company ever.

You can be sure valve doesn't actively like the idea of a company pumping out shit onto their store purely to make its profits from card sales.

I don't think Valve cared much. Valve isn't that interested in curation, though it is a bit sensitive to sexual content.

They might have thought delisting them was the end of it, but if the company then starts mass distribution of free codes to continue their card profits, DELIBERATELY one-uping valve

DH is gone from Steam. Valve generates the keys. There will be no more keys. They have no place to sell their games. Firstly, they can no longer get keys from Valve. Secondly, what alternative to Steam wants them? Why isn't there an outcry about Valve--the big bully--bullying some undeserving publisher? There isn't because no reasonable person thinks Valve is the villain here.

Valve said, "f!@# off, you!"--rightfully--and DH's last desperate attempt to wring a few bucks out of the market doesn't change that they are still f!@#ing off.

I have no idea why you think this is them one-upping Valve. Valve decided that DH is no longer worthy of being listed in their store. This means that Valve killed DH--and not out of spite, or out of greed--but because DH was a shit company run by shits who did shit things to critics and customers, and it came back to bite them in the ass.

THAT is the kind of thing valve MIGHT get angry about.

The only thing that we know made Valve angry was DH suing customers, which requires (if compelled, and if Valve complies) Valve to identify the customers, over what most people seem to agree is utter nonsense.

they also cracked down on trading once they saw how gamers were managing to get themselves fairer deals by bypassing valves geo price gouging. valve are a very spiteful company, make no mistake about it.

Publishers set prices in different region. Publishers have no interest in Americans and Brits activating and playing the Russian version of a $40 game that was acquired for $11 of local currency because Russia's economy is as weak as a three-year-old baby.

This isn't about spite. If you're not going to actually enforce regional restrictions then they don't have a purpose. The regional restrictions are standard in the industry. Valve did not create them, and it would be difficult to argue that Valve has done anything to further them. All Valve has done is ensured that they are enforced, as their partners desire. That's hardly spiteful.

well, using a bot is likely to get you banned, so if someone was making a lof of automated transactions in a short period of time or every day (then I would say it would get you banned). it's also most likely against the TOS.

I do remember reading that one reddit post where someone made a lot of money from their bot

I don't know if I'd say it's 'spiteful" to ban users for using bots honestly.. but when a few people are (ab)using the market using bots for all the profit, well... I think you get the picture. I don't really know what else Valve has really done aside from the mobile authenticating for trading or else a 15 day wait.

DH probably only has so many free keys left to distribute even if they really wanted card profits. both sound spiteful if you are going to say valve is spiteful. one to give out free codes to milk final profits and one to disable cards from their games if they actually do it.
