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...

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

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...

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...

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...

Check out our first @steamsentinels.bsky.social podcast, Trust on Trial where the boys discuss @steampowered.com's most recent controversies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUmj...

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..

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...

New article on @steamsentinels.bsky.social! Rip-Off 'Dark and Darker' Game Bribes Gamers with Rewards for Positive Reviews steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

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

FINAL (I hope) update A sanitised watered-down version of the original article is now up on @steamsentinels.bsky.social! @steampowered.com, Visa, and Financial Content Restrictions (Revised Version That's Good for Steam) steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

Earlier today we posted a new article on the @steamsentinels.bsky.social group. The article discussed visa and @steampowered.com censorship issues. The article... got censored. Here's an archived copy of it. You be the judge if it should have been censored. archive.is/WeZ4r

We're unfortunately experiencing problems with users accessing our article. We're working with our team to troubleshoot the problem and have wrote to @steampowered.com about users not being able to view the article. Please bear with us as we try and fix the issue.

New article is live on @steamsentinels.bsky.social! @steampowered.com and @itchio.bsky.social are censoring adult games - because Visa and Mastercard don't like them. We break down what’s happening and why creators are fighting back. steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti... #LetUsCreate #IndieDev

Sentinels article dropping tomorrow!

New poll over on X. Decide the next topic for @steamsentinels.bsky.social x.com/MellowOnline...

Well done to @occularmalice.bsky.social for his find and for making an appropriate report to ConcernedApe regarding the asset theft.

Adult games - some not even explicit - are being delisted from @steampowered.com & @itchio.bsky.social under pressure from Visa & Mastercard. This sets a dangerous precedent where payment processors dictate what games can exist. polygon.com/news/616835/... #SteamSentinels #StopCensorship

🚨MALWARE ALERT ON @steampowered.com🚨 'Chemia' was found with infostealer malware. This isn’t the first time this has happened. Steam must do better. bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit... #Steam #Malware #Infostealer #SentinelsOfTheStore

We're so close!

I've posted a giveaway for @steamsentinels.bsky.social members on Steam Gifts. Just a little thank you for the continued support. www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/bdu... store.steampowered.com/app/1303950/...

Regular @steamsentinels.bsky.social activity will be resuming from w/c July 28th.

A billion-dollar publisher just broke @steampowered.com's review and AI rules, and nothing happened. Smaller devs face takedowns for far less. If Valve won’t enforce its policies fairly, the system is broken. @bellular.bsky.social's report: youtu.be/NT82gFzkRvg #Steam #GameDev

I've had messages about the #StopKillingGames movement, and I personally do support it. I encourage anyone in the EU to sign the petition and those outside to share it! A discussion on game lifespans and ownership is something that at the bare minimum needs a revisit. www.stopkillinggames.com

I'm now a gaming news show producer! @steamsentinels.bsky.social have worked with Hannah to help reboot 'News Cartridge' which ceased frequent episode production in December 2018. Go check the latest episode out, feedback would be greatly appreciated! youtu.be/LI2EB5ueUJU?...

Just a signal booster: DO NOT BUY 'GALACTIC VANGUARD' ON @steampowered.com The game is a decompiled version of another game, 'G-Warrior.' steamcommunity.com/id/efNYaLA/r...

Please find a statement below from Steam Sentinels owner @mellowonline1.bsky.social about the alleged Steam data leak. steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...

I hoped to get a @steamsentinels.bsky.social article up today, but my stomach is killing me right now, so it looks like I'll need to hold off. Thankfully, I have the next couple of days to see about getting it up then.

NEW ARTICLE ON @steamsentinels.bsky.social In their first article for us, Caff discusses WUT Studio, which has peculiar pricing on its titles and suspicious review activity. steamcommunity.com/groups/Senti...
