Me and Delisper tested (and had my name in credits) in keepshopkeep.
Unfortunately they didn't seem to listen much, they were unhappy about the first game, they just barely made the bar a few weeks ago which was exactly the same except the location, untested and again full of bugs and now they seemed to have announced a second keepshopkeep coming this saturday.
Not sure why they got banned though.

ouch.
...but how? i mean, how is even possible to create x number of dlc's for 1 game only. then, you (Steam) have to check and all and then ban.
...like, why?
(sorry, F, but that somewhat dumb, no? might be cause all of those boobs, tho...)

We recently discovered that you have circumvented our systems to create and distribute more DLC for Boobs’em Up then we typically allow. By default, partners are allowed 100 pieces of DLC per appID. In rare instances, we allow more with our assistance. But you did not contact us, and instead manipulated our system again and again to create far more than 100 pieces of DLC. Manipulation of any system in Steam or Steamworks is unacceptable and a violation of our terms of service—we are not interested in doing business with individuals or organizations that abuse our tools. We have revoked your Steamworks access, removed all of your titles from sale, and have ended our business with you.

It's amazing they lasted as long as they did. I wonder how long it takes Valve to process a report on the steam store.

Comment has been collapsed.
reading the most recent postings and I have to say.. people wear alot of tin foil hats.. Being part of the Monday list of sales has nothing to do with valve trying to scam people... Could be very possible when the games are on those sales they get higher volumes of sales, which results in high volumes of reports, which makes Valve stop and look at the game and say.. mmm maybe we should kick this one off our store front..
Also it's the publisher/developer who sets the sale price, so by that understand they set the price not valuve.. so you know....
Why would someone consider it being ripped off,, once a game is removed, you still have access to download, play and whatever else you want.. it just no longer gives + one to your account, more then likely the achievements no longer count toward your achievement scores and Cards are no longer marketable, but you can still typically create booster packs from gems, so you're not completely sealed off from being able to finish badges...

The problem is that most of these so-called games are very low quality, created just for the purpose of +1 to game count or just to make quick bucks out of collectors. Previously, these types of game thrive as Steam allow the developer to generate quite a number of keys (10k+) which is then distributed to a bunch of key sites or bundle sites to be sold for a few cents. Since the purpose is just to increase the game count, once the game is removed, it's only a piece of trash in their library, that's why people are salty about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fuck the +1, kill them all!
And I am approaching 1.5k, but for the past 800 games the zero fuck I give about the +0!

I've always been under the impression that you allow people to do as they wish.. if people want to buy those games they will, why should others come in and get to determine what is or isn't a good game.. What one considers trash another might consider a treasure.. Sure most of the games are crap in my opinion, but who is to say they aren't to someone else.. Like HOGs, I enjoy playing HOG games others consider them trash.. If others had their way HOG games wouldn't be on steam..
Who's should get the final say on what is or isn't worthy of being on the steam store.. People make their choice to buy these games, I make my choice all the time,, why is it anyone elses choice to determine how I spend my money. I'd rather have an open marketplace that gives people a chance to release their games and fail, then one that has closed off their environment and doesn't let things through.. who can tell what the next big Indie project will be..

Bump; In past few hours 9 "games" and 100+ "dlcs" for them were banned. If you were regular in buying crappy bundles you probably had all 9 of these. -9

why didnt they review them BEFORE letting them into the platform?
Comment has been collapsed.
It would take a lot of resources and also potentially leave them legally liable for the distribution of copyright infringing content since they would have formally reviewed and approved it before distributing and profiting from it.
Comment has been collapsed.
They get paid for every game that's released onto their platform, my guess is they'd rather have this influx of money and just ban stuff afterwards than actually work on a proper system
Comment has been collapsed.
That $100 is chump charge for them. Even considering the flood of trash they get.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's arguable. Assuming a fair amount of automation behind that system and considering a low amount of required additional resources for the majority of that junk as well as additional income through sales they probably make a worthwhile bargain overall... If they were losing money over that we'd have seen readjustments already
Comment has been collapsed.
Pay someone to review games before actually releasing them
VS
Get paid to release every single piece of trash, purge them afterwards if needed, profiting from market transactions in the meanwhile.
Easy to guess which choice they went with.
Kinda like how we're constantly getting new useless shit that nobody asked for (for which Valve employees actually get paid extra) rather than much required bugfixes (which they're expected to do as part of their normal job, and thus don't pay extra).

Valve personally reviews the games before allowing them in through steam-direct yes?
No. They don't.
Valve takes $100.00 and puts your product on the storefront. That's all there is to Steam Direct. No more, no less..
Valve may claim they perform basic checks such as the game starting etc. but they're failing at that in practice.
Valve only ever steps in after the fact, and even they only if the shitstorm becomes big enough that it makes them look bad again.

My story:
I started with a ps2, no achievements (on profile), didn't care that much. Moved to ps3 and ps4, achievements now meant almost everything, if a game didn't have achievements I would probably not play it. Cycle continues.
Comment has been collapsed.
achievements can really help and motivate you to play, sometimes achievements also help to look at things from a different angle, but if I would like a game and it has no achievements, I will still get it, it's not a must have for me, it can just make it more fun I guess?
Comment has been collapsed.
I do own/owned a few achievement spam games, the games looked like fun and I did finish them, but 2 games alone got me a few k achievements, besides that I own a series now that also drops a few 100 per game, but I enjoy the game, but with those games I wish you could just disable achievements, they kind of ruin my total count, though I guess the 2 removed games, they no longer add to the count so it's something ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
As far as I know, Steam has 0 quality control, the only thing they do is that they remove some crap, which they either do because of the reports or because they have problems with a dev themselves, else they don't care, just look at how much crap is on Steam, that says enough, sadly!
And yes, Steamgifts is more and more a place for bots and farmers but also bundle leftovers and sadly lately most bundles only have either crap games or rebundle fests so we mostly see those games, besides the few good ones, I see around 10 giveaways at max for most of the time, that incl. doubles, because there are a few bundles games I do want, but I only see games I really want and nothing else.
Comment has been collapsed.
The "steam is learning about this game" has helped combat the mass card farming thing that was happening.
Sadly, some idiots buy those games for their 5000 achievements. Liking to 100% a game as a challenge is 100% understandable and fair play if you can get them all. But... buying games just to beef up the achievement/perfect game count is nuts. Removed game achievements shouldn't count. (I never played any of them, so not sure how it works now) Then maybe people would stop buying them and demand would end.
Afterall, if people weren't buying them via bundle or otherwise, they wouldn't exist on steam. :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Same.
I don't look at a profile page now and think "wow, look at yer man's achievements" when I see a huge number. I immediately think "farmed achievements." Might not be the case, but it's definitely my default setting on these things lol.
Comment has been collapsed.
hides my 10660 achievements I didn't buy games just for them I swear!!
It's funny what you guys are saying, while at the same time I see people at the Community Hub demanding games get cards and achievements else they won't even bother buying the game....
And with the 'Steam is learning' only the ones that are bought on Steam themselves count right? So if a game is bundled 20 times and everyone got it from there, it doesn't help the game from that status at all, though the status also has a bad side and that's for free-to-play games, those are stuck in there as well.
And you can say all about Steam caring and all, but if they really cared, they would have add a way better quality control, like...I don't know... check games BEFORE they come on Steam? Like, there were 'games' that had malware in it, 'games' that had a crypto miner in it and even 'games' that has no .exe at all so they couldn't even be started, such stuff shouldn't even be able to happen at all if Steam would take it more serious, that's all I am saying ^^

Yeah, I think to stop shit games from getting through, they'd have to go the way of EPIC or GOG and just add finished games to their platform through deals with devs. We do complain about all the crap, but at the same time, we wouldn't be getting the decent early access titles either. It's kinda one of those having your cake and eating it situations.
Even through a community moderated system, shit games get through because of assholes. They'd know the games were shit, but they'd vote for them anyway just to get the 5000 achievements. =(
And LOL! People not buying games because of achievements are very sad. lol. Like you, I too like having them there as an extra since it adds to the experience. When the achievements are there, you're like "ooh, I missed some things." I used to only play on console, so when I got to the end of a game, I considered it finished. lol
Comment has been collapsed.
To be honest, I try not to buy Early Access games at all, you never know if they will actually get finished or not and how long it will take so I rather wait than sitting with half a game, so I would be fine with getting rid of Early Access, still happens to often that games never get finished but people already bought them, am not a fan of that system at all.
Achievement can be a hindrances, like the speedrun ones, or the ones where you need to beat it at hardcore, may never get damage, etc. the ones I always skip because I suck at them and it can be annoying when you did everything but can't 100% the game because of those, but some achievements can actually add more to a story, like finding stuff you would have missed otherwise, than you have the boring 'click 10 times on an item' or other repeat stuff that add nothing, which are usually doable but not that interesting and than you have the ones that just spawn just because....
If a game has cards, I like that, means you can make a tiny bit of extra money on it when you sell it, or some games I really love I even craft the badge but won't not buy a game just because it has no cards, that's insane!

Yes, collecting games is a thing, and it's been around for far longer than anything else.
It's also one of the reasons why people hate other stores so much: because they don't let them show off their big dongs libraries.
Nowadays, collectors are the main demographics for most kinds of shovelware: they'll buy anything, as long as it adds a +1.

I know many of those titles from mass giveaways and farming cards.
Even Bloody Boobs got banned. Some gaming sites had articles about that game.

huh, I actually bought two copies of Dungetris before it was bundled (one for myself and one for a friend) because its Tetris-rooms system was similar to one used in a failed game project I worked on years ago (though our game looked much better). Was sad when I tried it and found out the game was in a barely functioning state :/

Truth. The fact that it hovered around 70% positive reviews really emphasizes how overly generous [and troll filled] Steam reviews typically are. Still, rather surprised it ended up getting removed from Steam, given that- while it fails entirely as a game- it manages to far exceed the usual minimum standards Valve sets for its hosted content. Then again, I'm already surprised enough that they're still doing content passes after their "we'll accept basically anything, we finally openly admit it" announcement. My expectations for Valve aren't exactly high. :P

Seemed just fine when I played it? Got repetitive after a while, but "barely functional" would not be something I say about it.

Well, it may have improved after I played it since like I said I played it before it was even in a bundle, and I think it might have been early access at the time.

cool, VT publishing banned. I waited for this day since they changed about 25-30 of their games from 1 achievement each to 5k. Now steam needs to make achievement, AVGC and perfect game statistics like game count. Only those should be counted to there which still available to purchase and no profile limited/steam is learning about tag.
