Mass bans of developers.
Update: Valve is still in the process of banning titles as of 6:30 p.m. Pacific. The list below will be updated periodically.
Valve has issued another couple rounds of mass bans this week on Steam. The mass ban technically began nearly a week ago when Valve banned all 28 titles of BMC Studios. BMC Studios has been on Steam since the Greenlight era and their titles have been accused of being troll games in the past. Recent titles have mostly geared toward FMV interactive movies however it appears that Kimulator 3 was the title that Valve felt crossed the line.
This isn’t the first time Valve has had a targeted mass ban in November, and this time around it appears that the bans are related to mass botting for trading cards on the associated games. Specifically the games from Quiquopro Games and NedoStudio appear to have offloaded keys for their games to what are likely Russian bots farming cards for profit. And the games by André Bertaglia that mostly appear to be shovelware prebuilt games.
More than 80 titles have been culled as part of this ban, not counting the 28 from BMC Studio earlier last week.
