Removed from Steam Store?

[TheBalrog]

Is this temporary or permanent? Was looking to complete the badge and noticed the entire market sold out and then saw the game was removed.

Pinned a response in the discussion group. Also, we're very grateful for any posts you report! Mass-reporting shouldn't get you banned unless you're reporting a LOT of stuff, or if it's an obvious brigade (i.e. a group of people who organize mass-reporting of the same posts to get the attention of moderators and/or Steam).

mass reporting has led to people getting introuble, if its done in a short time its higher risk
the reports go not only to you but also to valve, so best thing for anyone whos reporting posts to pace themselves, likewise with reviews the automated systems dont care if your cause for reporting is a good one or not, it can still flag people.
myself i got hit on fb as have friends for posting too often, the automated systems act on there own and should be careful of them.

ive seen forum bans, trade bans, community bans, gifting bans, buying bans, there is all types. and from long ago heard that if someone reports too often they have a chance to be flagged by the bot, old but still solid information.
then what comes next is usually reports from said person looked at less even if there good willed, and the possibility of there report function being disabled.

they consider mass reporting abuse of the report system as valve has to look at each report too, and if they get so many from one person they may close the book on them without looking at the further reports.

this is all stuff i learned years back

edit: if anyone cares too they could directly contact you gathering links to report directly bypassing the report system thus the chance of valve taking action against them bot or otherwise.
as those reports stack up on support also

All negative reviews have been removed, nice

4 negative remain, also all the devs would have to do is tell valve that there is mass review bombing, they handle that usually in good time as valve and other companies have gotten sick of that type of thing, that or valve may take notice themselves.
notice that awhile ago they added a history feature for reviews so if a high amount comes in around the same time, you can usually tell if review bombing

old days people use to say MASS REPORT THIS PROFILE because such and such
that's when people began to learn that valve doesn't like mass reports nor multiple reports
one report per thing is enough for support to see it, just needs the constructive writing to prove why it should be removed or such.

hopefully you didn't get any marks against you for reporting so many in a short time or anything, as the automated bot does not care, and as for support they have to deal with so many tickets a day.

so yeah normally id say if its like the anti british mass review bombs, advise the devs or publisher too contact valve theyll handle it normally if shown proof.
it saves time for support having to check each review report ticket

sorry if my words may be off im lacking sleep/drink/food for few days now rl stuff

closing statements, anyone who was abusing the review system for anti british messages? hopefully proper action was taken against them

The troll ones have been removed, so good looking out. It's good to see Valve isn't completely inept with removing obvious abuse. They still have a long way to go.

Any updates on the game being re-added? We have 2 copies pending to stream it but we'd rather wait until folks can purchase it on Steam again.

Any news about this? I want to craft the foil badge :-)

Interested in a steam copy for collection.

Hey everyone, the latest information we have is that our publisher wants to try a simship, which means the Steam version will go live again when the game is coming to consoles. That is months away, however. Really sorry, I hoped to have some more definite dates before the end of the year but it seems unlikely. #blockem2023

Is there no other store or way to buy it? :(

Really unfortunate what's happened, after all your efforts… but I wish you every success with your relaunch and will be keeping the game on my Wishlist (despite it not showing up on there) and continue following, for any updates.

Happy holidays, as well. =)
