Zonitron Productions banned from Steam

  • 401

If you notice your game count dwindling it might well be due to the ban of Zonitron Productions from Steam. Each of their games will no longer add a +1 to your library.

If Valve would put some manpower and money in active curation the problem wouldn't arise. Besides selling their games and making money and after a falling out with the devs denying the buyers access to achievements and the community market for selling trading cards is not the best move to instill confidence in the platform.

Edit: Before you turn your trading cards from these games into gems try finding a trader in the respective game hubs. You can still craft a badge and increase your Steam level. 

To all the commenters saying 'good riddance' - you're somehow missing the point. 

It isn't as all these games appeared miraculously on the Steam platform. It was Valve's greed for making money from transaction fees and sales. No wonder users are angry about losing achievements and no longer being able to sell trading cards.
It was Valve's fault to let these developers on the platform in the first place by stubbornly negating the necessity of curating their store which would have avoided the problem we're now facing.

It takes no genius to predict that with Steam Direct and a flood of thousands of shovelware games we'll see more of the same in the future.

Steam should be guided to the person who corresponds to this person individually.
Like revoke ...



You guys will still be able to download / install / play those "games...

Your cards / achievements / stats will be useless tho... Good riddance!



Planetary

If Steam doesn´t like the Quality of These "games", they shouldn´t let them on their platform from the beginning. It smells a bid cheesy to ban the developer after earning so much fee for selling their Cards.


Mitkov [RUS]

i have -33 game and ~1300 untradable cards... :(( 

it's very sad only



Games are certainly not very valuable, but the policy Valve itself is very offensive


Planetary

No! I have many of this games, go to take cards from this games and trade it
