Well, of course a dev hopes you will recommend their game. It's rather common in curator copies to have this type of invitations.

I don't think they were trying to trick you. Probably just really bad communication on their part.

In any case, the Steam Curator rules override any of such requests the devs may make. You're always free to give a game, the rating you think it deserves. So don't worry much about it.

It should be disclosed in some way. Yeah. I agree.

Damn.

The first one is really a forest knockoff, it has monsters, the plane, native villages and all, even the containers on the shore.

Checked the others too, definitely looks recycled asset crap yeah.

That sounds an awful lot like brainwashing and being forcefully detained. Which, if I am not mistaken, is kidnapping, and against the law.

I am no lawyer, but a EULA that more or less says that the developer will kidnap and brainwash you to like their stuff is grounds for the law to step in, alongside mental health services.

Definitely. Probably illegal.

I think they just have a lot of controlled studios / sections / subsidiaries and so on. I never saw anything truly malicious from them, have even played some of their games and they were actually pretty good.

Never saw any asset flip or really terrible stuff from them. Might be they do use some of the same assets or functions between their simulator games, that's true, but that's fair game in my eyes.

I have just read the EULA. that is insane. how is this even possible lmao.

They won't do anything, this isn't breaking any rules. You shouldn't go around reporting games that aren't technically breaking any rules. We do have a Discord you came come onto and ask before reporting and clogging up Steam's moderation team.

Ah i thought your "No" was also referred to the fact it was not allowed. Thanks for clearing it out. I didn't report it yet and i won't do it since you said it doesn't break any steam rule.

Alright.
