He and all the channels like him stir up controversy because it gets them more views than being honest.
Reviews from users who got the game for free from the dev do not count towards the score.
And if someone who got the game for free from the dev and doesnt admit it, Steam can still negate the effect of the review on the games rating.
Steam has ways of knowing. And honestly i would not trust Bellular if he told me the sky was blue and the grass green.
He has also made videos using blatantly false or fake info.

Nexon offering in-game rewards for leaving a review...

Not sure why people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on someone when they haven't even bothered to look at whats being said. It's not opinion, the rules are the rules and Nexon blatantly broke them.
Or maybe that's what Bellular should have done instead of making a video where half of it is a sponsor segment.
All he does is rile up mobs of users.
If there isn't any legal basis for it, then a company isn't allowed to geo-block. All of nexons games are available where I live, except blue archive. Reason: unclear.
People think lootboxes (every nexon game has those) -- not the case. They're legal; we don't have an anti lootbox law, but we do have gambling regulations. In most cases lootboxes do not break the rules there and they won't here either.
In any case, the problem is, the region block is preventing me from visiting the store page. Without access to this I cannot report the game. The game also cannot be reported through Steam Support due to the region block (and it won't show up in search, etc.) Meh-
Anyway, naughty Nexon indeed.
Good point. I just reported them but not sure if Valve will care. They do like money but one would hope they could at least make sure to enforce the rules they consider to be worth following equally.
What is it really about?
I didn't think it was clickbait. I thought it was an interesting story and something worth informing people about. If certain devs or publishers start breaking or Steam's rules or standards w/o consequences, the possibility of that being repeated could cause issues. At least that's what I thought. Sorry for wasting your time I guess?
Odd you prefer to defend the video instead of answering my question what the thread really is about.
This statement I made was about your question: "If certain devs or publishers start breaking or Steam's rules or standards w/o consequences, the possibility of that being repeated could cause issues."
This is in reference to the substance of the video that covers the following:
The video covers a big publisher and a successful developer that broke two respective rules of Steam regarding manipulating Steam Reviews and using AI in your game development pipeline and not disclosing it respectively and seemingly not immediately facing consequences as a result of the level of their success and the potential revenue gain they've given Steam. Both recently released games on Steam to wide acclaim but also broken the rules I mentioned before.
Again, sorry for wasting your time.
Not-so-stealth advertising of whatever promo that grifter is pimping.
Belluar stirring up controversy? Since when?
Also he quite literally showed the rule that the company broke.
The game is free and you know maybe you should look at the video before just making baseless accusations.
The game is breaking the rules and the reason someone like Belluar is making a video on it is to spread awareness of it. Getting more eyes on the issue.
It's not clickbait. The video honestly show clear rule breaking of the Steam reviews.
Are you people just in a mood too hate on anything a Youtuber says?
Here is the link on their forums.

When the video's description is more promo than useful, then yes, expect people to not want to engage with a video. Notice how someone else was able to make a topic here on the subject without resorting to helping a grifter advertise.
