The antitrust lawsuit against Valve from Wolfire Games got a little spicy this week. To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition. Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

  • Valve Removes 173 Spam Titles from Steam Yet Keeps Achievement Farming Games

    Valve Removes 173 Spam Titles from Steam Yet Keeps Achievement Farming Games

    Earlier, Valve pulled 173 "spam" titles from the Steam store. These titles belonged to Silent Echo Studios. The studio avoided paying the $100 fee for Steam Direct on multiple occasions by submitting multiple games at once. This led to multiple games being added to the Steam store to the tune of roughly a couple dozen games per month. These were all submitted with Steam trading cards and thus attracted collectors that just had to catch 'em all. The studio made a pretty penny on the sale...

    Update on September 26, 2017: It looks as though someone working in the Koei Tecmo customer service department had some bad information.

    Multiple users, including Raul DJ on the Steam forums, posted comparison screenshots of the PC version of the game with the PlayStation 4 version. The comparisons show little to no resolution issues with the...
