Developer pages are curators, and Steam has a hard limit of 100 on ignoring curators for some reason.

The developer just straight up yeeted the game off Steam.

Didn't read it all, so excuse me if it was said already, but maybe they just license their engine\editor to small Polish developers, so anyone can make a game for them on PlayWay's terms, maybe even with financial help, with the publisher taking care of the marketing and pocketing most of the profits. At least this is how the scheme looks to me at first glance. Could be shady, could be perfectly legal. Need digging.

They're the second biggest publisher in Poland and they have a ton of subsidiaries and companies they invest in.

Playway has become the Hanna Barbera of "simulator" games in that they've figured out a way to put them out cheaply and fast. Other than crowding the upcoming release list I haven't seen anything particularly malicious out of them.

The fake reviews have been deleted, and the developer had my screenshots pulled from the store page which resulted in a temporary ban for community violations. I am submitting an appeal with my proof of the fake reviews to show retaliation.

The devs of Cyber Watch decided to start posting positive review scores to counter the one negative that I left on their game, using fresh accounts with one game owned and the developer's own names on the accounts. The third account shares the last name with a credited dev and may be a fake first name or relative.
