telling stuff.... when you post on all these Dead early access games and getting banned by developer (imagine not working on their EA Games for years but banning your for pointing this out in community hub)
and ask steam support

all they say

This community hub ban was issued by the developer's moderation staff.

Developers follow the Global Rules & Guidelines, but they may also have specific rules regarding what content is acceptable in their game hub.

We won't be reversing their decision, so we recommend contacting their support team for further information and to appeal:


Steam Support

or

We encourage developers to be thoughtful when moderating their communities, especially when considering bans.

The impact of poor moderation can lead to anger, decreased confidence in the product and ultimately can be detrimental to the success of the game.

Some of that information can be found in the link below:
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/community_moderation

With that said, we give developers control over their own community hub, including discussions and user-created content. As such, Steam support does not reverse developer decisions.

I will share your feedback and report with the rest of the team here as well.

Kind regards,

or

Hello,

I understand your frustration, however, we allow game developers in how they moderate their hub, and don't typically overrule their decisions.

In this case, we will not be making any changes. Your option is to choose to appeal to the group that issued the ban, or not.

I will also be forwarding your concerns regarding this matter to the appropriate department. We value feedback from the Steam community.

Because we have provided all the information we have for your issue, I'm closing this help request. If you have an unrelated issue, please open a new help request and we will be happy to help.

Kind regards,

they just do not care. :(

I wish Valve would move this fast more often.

*edit* according to a forum post, apparently the game was removed by the creator and not Valve, so I guess I was too early with the praise(?) - though I'm not exactly sure how you would tell the difference between the two... anyone know?

you can for example
https://steamdb.info/app/3500410/history/
here on Changelist #27683883
Added app_retired_publisher_request – 1

so the publisher/Dev/guy in charge
said to valve/steam - retire/remove it.


when you look through this update history
you see that everything was according to steam rules
screenshots, video, description
and all that was later removed.

people really started it...
they fear nothing :)

looks like after that video no one can start the game anymore..

i wonder what it is, or what it does.

many of These mobile Port "Games" have These Features.
Most of time These Not even worked.

But this is Not a New "Rule" from Steam/valve. but they Not Cared For years.

maybe they Not found Out they Not make Money Out of it so now they do Not want this anymore...

There's definitely an organised and deliberate network of fake reviewers and review manipulators working to make scam products to fleece gamers for a few roubles.

Some of the guys in Sentinels did some amazing undercover work to shed light on the whole racket.

You can read about it all here:

I agree with the sentiment here that they don't seem like fake reviews at all. They're not even entirely positive. Some come across as sarcastic.

search at google "is it written by ai"
and paste the text of these reviews
and these i tested came back as 100% ai generated.
and 80 of all these "scam games" from these "scam developers" are positive?!

steam is so broken with these fakereviews...
more than amazon.

now all their games the price was raised from 99 cent to 55 dollars.

well it aint much. but i reported all these games (with that flag on the store page)
but we all know. it wont do anything.
i wrote a support ticket about that.
but we all know. it wont do anything.

so you want me to write now negative reviews of these "games" ? :)

No, it won't help, because reviews for the games that was activated by cheap keys won't affect the user score, and even if you purchase them via Steam, your single negative review will not outweigh 10+ paid positive reviews, 1 negative review vs 10 positive will still left this game with 90%+ positive user score, so no point in doing that. We need Valve to act and ban every publisher who used Obzor services, only that could make them think twice before abusing the review system.

for example: 28% positive
https://steamhost.cn/app/1955000/3D_PUZZLE__Alchemist_House/

83% positive
https://steamhost.cn/app/2466850/3D_PUZZLE__Battle_Royal/

78% positive
https://steamhost.cn/app/2703250/3D_PUZZLE__Breaking_Bed/

91% pos
https://steamhost.cn/app/2630810/3D_PUZZLE__Building/

66% pos
https://steamhost.cn/app/1990310/3D_PUZZLE__Castle/

.. well 1 vote can turn this from "scam with keys" to "only scam on steam" xD
