Valve removes nearly 1,000 games from Steam after abuse of Steamworks tools
If you've ever browsed the Steam storefront, you'll no doubt have seen copious amounts of cheap-looking games, created as low-effort cash-grabs. Games like this flooding Valve's service have been notorious for years, but it appears that they've been cracking down within the past day. Hundreds of games were removed from Steam, with Valve stating that the reason for the purge was due to publishers who were "abusing" Steamworks tools. Nearly 1,000 different tiles were affected, though most if not all of them were barely known at all, with no major indie or AAA games having been removed at this time, and many were from a single specific publisher called Dagestan Technology.
