The @steamsentinels.bsky.social Podcast – Episode 7: Revoked Keys & New Hardware This week, we break down @steampowered.com’s key revocation meltdown, the devs' misuse of the system, and @valvesoftware.com's brand-new hardware announcement. youtu.be/sL5Wm5ABhuM #Steam #Valve #Podcast #PCGaming

Today, we're launching the @steamsentinels.bsky.social X @safeinourworld.org charity fundraiser. Safe in Our World will be the charity we support in our first annual charity fundraiser. Visit our article on Sentinels of the Store for full details: steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

Great news on the Sunyu situation: one of the users who was unfairly hit with a community ban has now had it overturned after reopening their ticket and presenting the evidence from @steamsentinels.bsky.social's forums of ban abuse. Persistence works - this is why we’ve been tracking these cases.

Dominance and Damage Control - @steamsentinels.bsky.social Podcast (Ep.6) This week, we’re breaking down @steampowered.com's monopoly, Aftermath Z: Red Pine Lake's censorship dispute, and a studio that accidentally revoked legit keys, trying to fight grey markets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ooz...

I’ve published a full breakdown of the Sunyu key-revocation meltdown - including archived posts, contradictions, and why innocent customers got caught in the crossfire. One of the worst PR responses I’ve seen from an indie dev. @steamsentinels.bsky.social steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

Oh dear, we have a Steam developer meltdown brewing.

At the end of this month I'll be streaming with Sentinels of the Store for their charity drive for Safe in Our World- a charity for mental health awareness. What games will I stream? Well, I've narrowed it down to a list for viewer voting! @mellowonline1.bsky.social strawpoll.com/ajnE1Q5jmnW

Multiple games have had legitimately purchased keys revoked in the last 2 days - and the developer responsible is deleting threads, banning users, and refusing to answer questions. We’ve published our full findings. steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti... @steampowered.com @steamsentinels.bsky.social

My awesome and very caring friend @dljadow.bsky.social will be doing a series of video game streams for charity in the near future. Vote in this poll to decide what charity gets the money raised for: strawpoll.com/e6Z2AR2v6gN

Authorised Chaos | @steamsentinels.bsky.social Podcast (Ep 5) This week, we’re talking fake store pages, broken games, and @valvesoftware.com's vanishing oversight. From the 'Scarface' (2006) fiasco to free games being rendered unplayable. #Steam #Gaming #Podcast www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeOk...

New @steamsentinels.bsky.social article: Some games that were once free to keep have had their files quietly revoked after going paid, leaving early claimants with unplayable licenses. Read the full breakdown: steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

"Keep activism out of games" 9/10, what people mean when they say this is "keep activism I disagree with out of games." If you want good games, you're an activist. If you want ethics in game development, you're an activist. Activism is everywhere. It's just that if you agree with the message.

A 'Scarface: The World is Yours'' @steampowered.com page briefly went live this week - but the publisher has since admitted they didn’t have the rights to release it. We’ve broken down what happened, how it slipped through, and why storefront checks matter. steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

Let's byld me some cytys

Creativity Locked | @steamsentinels.bsky.social Podcast (Ep. 4) This week, Mellow, Ratchet, and @sirviolentdeath.bsky.social are back with a mix of nostalgia and critique as we look at how creativity and control collide in modern gaming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCUb...

New @steamsentinels.bsky.social article! "My take on Valve’s Changes (Since the Start of @steampowered.com Direct)” by @sirviolentdeath.bsky.social. From Greenlight to trading cards to key limits - what actually changed, and who paid the price? Read: steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti... #Steam

Steam Sentinels Podcast - Episode 3: “The Price of Play” We’re back to talk #PolishOurPrices, @xbox.com Game Pass price hikes, and transparency in AI-driven games. youtu.be/LV_y24OZves?...

Our latest @steamsentinels.bsky.social article is now live! #PolishOurPrices steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

The 'Bride Horror Game' dev has confirmed all revoked keys are now restored. They cite issues with DIG and free giveaways and pledge not to sell via third-party sites again. Positive outcome - but buyers should never have lost access. Transparency matters. #Steam #Sentinels

The 'BlockBlasters' story just took another turn - the game that housed the malware wasn’t even original. It was a stolen title from Cobra Code. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJGv...

everyone says there should be fewer podcasts. however, every smart person i've ever heard of who has a podcast says cool things on it. can we get some economists on this? in order to maximize how many people get to hear and say cool things?

An inquiry into my personal details fails from some random on the internet. Must be Sunday! But my name, according to their reliable sources, is apparently Jack Morby. Have fun with that assumption.

Some very exciting news! We've started a podcast! youtu.be/SUmj6279Egc?... We discuss @steampowered.com scams, malware, and Payday 2's new subscription model.

Something exciting is coming! @sirviolentdeath.bsky.social

We’re only 19 members away from hitting 4,000 Sentinels! If you haven’t already joined (or know someone who’d love what we do), now’s the perfect time – help us cross this milestone together! 🛡️ steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

New article on @steamsentinels.bsky.social! This is a biggy - we donned our investigative journalism hats again and we covered what is, in my opinion, the biggest Steam marketplace scam I've come across in my time on the platform..

I have been gone for a short while for a separate project from here, but I will be hitting the ground running again very shortly, particularly on hammering the review manipulation issue on @steampowered.com.

New article on @steamsentinels.bsky.social! A guest piece this week from @sirviolentdeath.bsky.social - Part one in a planned series of articles discussing Review Bombing on Steam! steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

Never mind, this weekend's thing has had to be delayed a few weeks.

Several exciting projects are in the works. One of them - you'll see this weekend! Stay tuned!

White House signs new order banning “politicized debanking.” Could it impact Visa & Mastercard's role in @steampowered.com/@itch.io adult content restrictions? Full breakdown here: steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti... #Steam #Itchio #GamingNews #Censorship

No cause or campaign ever justifies rape threats, death threats, or doxxing. The recent targeting of Collective Shout with this abuse is vile and inexcusable. Disagree with ideas - but resorting to harassment is cowardice, not activism. We can - and must - do better.
