That is a direct quote on their Epic games page, which is the only copy paste missing from the steam store page,


If you mention this on the steam games discussion board, you will get banned

How do we contact steam to let them know that this game contains content that steam historically doesnt allow?


I found the link I needed

I did use that, but none of those options cover the option I seek, I also am no 10, I dont type that way,


When I tried giving an explanation, I was met with a character limit.

You cant even type that much above in the report.


So spent 30 minutes trying to navigate the help but I am not able to get customer service send message option at all.


That is why I asked.

But what option? Fraud is the closet, which really doesnt exactly fit, and you cant explain your reason for reporting past like 200 characters.

Perhaps it's an automatic banning process, because you only posted a link without context? I have no idea.

why do you need more than that?

"this game includes blockchain/crypto elements"

that is less than 100

pick the closest and report it

You pick whatever is closest and do your best to explain within the character limit.

The last I heard Vavle banned NFT based games, but maybe that was changed.

However, one thing that's very likely is that Steam won't stop a game that's not even there yet. They probably want evidence first.

The last time i got in contact with the name of the game where two videos on youtube that this whole thing most likely is a scam.....as they
a) edited their first promotional videos
b) they seem to have taken 100% content of those trailers from an existing GTA 5 MP Server Mod
....

Was one of those videos (not sure if the linked is the first or second video about it)

of course i can not say if anything of that claims will be true at the end or not.........

lol... if crap like this becomes the norm, I think I'll have to just hang up my hat and find something else to do besides gaming.

Another pathetic greedy (unsafe) endeavor.

Yea.. Kernel level anti-cheat, blockchain.. ... *seriously* pathetic.
