You can flag them to Steam via the store page.

report the game via the store page.

Thank you, have done so

In what way not working?

Didn't you read the post?

"This Land is My Land" has had about half the content removed since the servers are down and the dlc's have no more content whatsoever since they require the servers to work"

From that game's discussions

"We can also flag the game through the store page since the devs don't respond and still sell a broken product.

"The fact that DLCs are still being sold even though they cannot be reached is a separate fraud"

"Sure you can still play but you can't transfer anything between res's. And the real problem is that the features they advertise are no longer working and the devs are not giving any help or information"

Game should be removed and people refunded, point blank.

I'd say, remove all the games that got abandoned as well (I see games that are abandoned still being sold) the Devs that abandon their game don't deserve people's hard-earned money, especially for an abandoned project.

Like those Devs that just drop their game on Steam for some quick cash and then dip afterwards. They shouldn't continue making/receiving money for something that is abandoned/a cash grab/a fraud.

Also, it sucks that just one person flagging/reporting a game isn't enough for Steam to check it out. How many people does it need to make it happen? by the time they actually do anything, these scummy Devs have already made a decent amount of monies....

Every report is viewed by a Valve employee. Even 1 report is enough.

Not really.

If that were true, these abandoned/fraud games wouldn't still be up continuing to be sold. When you actually have proof of what you say, then I'll believe it.

Like so,

Got permanently banned by this fraud of a Dev because I tried to warn people he abandoned his game (the reviews speak for themselves, check out the discussion board lol)

So, what were you saying about "even 1 report is enough"? that is just a straight up lie.

And here's a screenshot showing me being permanently banned by that scammer Dev

Game has been on here since 2022... yeah, Valve cares so much about getting rid of these frauds/scams...and I've reported it more than once and nothing happens.

One reviewer said

"Didnt get any single update since 2022, it should be taken down from the store"

and I agree. It should be. But has it? nope.

Nope, not a lie. But if people expect something to happen just because they report something, that's a people issue with their expectations management.

Valve can simply decide differently and throw the report(s) away.

In your example, it's an Early Access game. I have no doubt that Valve has little concern for your complaint since they implemented the feature that shows that updates were a long time ago. So, Valve effectively warns people. From their POV no reason to take a game down if it still sells.

1. Many games are reported every day. The queue is long and depending on the type of report, it may take months to get to.

2. Many reports are flagged falsely which makes things take longer.

The user is talking about scam games that are still being sold while Valve keeps taking 30% from each sale, and your argument is full of contradictions you didn’t even realize you wrote. Reports about these things should lead to some outcome for paying consumers, unless you're just another Valve licker like so many others and scams have penal consequences, as has already happened to Valve being responsible for all on this platform.

Sounds like a lie to me.

If that person who always knows everything about Valve said "even 1 report is enough" for a Valve employ to see a flagged game, why is that scam still being sold?

Yes, the old EA trick.

Scammers can put their game/fraud into Early Access knowing they plan to cash and dip. Oh, no updates? ah, read the notice, and avoid.

Does Valve not care about its players? the people giving them money? ah, of course, they only care about the money and not their paying consumers.

They will let scams/frauds continue to be sold just because they are continuing getting rich off it. All they look at is what? the Early Access sign and don't bother digging further? they figure if we warn people (not the people who already bought it in the first place) that's all they need to do?

I 100% ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ agree.

It's like, why bother reporting/flagging if it never seems to do anything? they need to do something and not let themselves get taking advantage of and not let their paying consumers get scammed/taken advantage etc of too.

Right now, Valve has more pressing matters to deal with.

I keep reading nonsense everywhere like "Valve is a private platform and can do whatever it wants" absolutely FALSE. Like EVERYONE else, whether a private or public company, it must comply with the laws and regulations of every country it sells in. That's the reason for the ongoing lawsuits and fines and the latest one from the EU for abusing consumers.
So continuing to sell games from which they take a 30% even though support has ended and the games are abandoned or have non-functional servers, is fraud, far from being saintly
Here, not even the moderators are able to understand criticism, let alone accept it.
Spending as little as possible here is the best choice for me, I’m speaking for myself.

It is also the reason why reporting games that receive no more update under EA does absolutely nothing, regardless of how many report sent. Valve does not do their job at all.

Even Valve's old agreement, which prohibited class actions, was a violation of the law and was later removed, since it's now allowed and because it was forced by law to do so.
So Valve's agreement have nothing to do with the law. Valve doesn't make the laws, nor does it get to decide how things work in every country it sells in.
Signing a contract doesn’t mean it’s valid if it violates the user’s rights, regardless of whether the user agrees or not.
