[QUERY] Pineapple on Pizza Ad On Steam? : Steam

[<™[-=> Cookiez <=-]™>]

Dear Gaben,
I believe a pizza company is using Steam as an ad.

Is that allowed on Steam?


"Eating a pizza is like holding a party in your mouth, but what would that party feel like if the pizza had pineapple on it?

Pineapple on pizza is a short game about exploring an island full of dancing people, finding a way to ruin the party, and unexpectedly enjoying it.

We strongly encourage you to stop reading and just play it. Surprise does enhance the flavor."

store page indicates its free (soundtrack 0.99)
Also I don't see much pizza or pineapple being mentioned unless its that one map view in a few people's screenshots.
There's not much of a threat here and if anything its in reference to the Off Topics forum's favorite subject.

Ok, so as long as it's free, it's allowed?

If KFC hasn't had a problem with copyright so far then they probably won't ever.
Its not up to Valve to "solve" those kinds of problems if they aren't the offended party.

You are referring to Pineapple or KFC?

KFC themselves paid for the development of this game.

Yeah, just asking.

I think it's just good to have proof of a discussion that shows that people are fine to such methods.

Pineapple on Pizza. It's not an ad from a pizza company, it's simply a game made by a developer who creates quirky games.

You might to check Pineapple out and see if there's actually a game there.

Or is it just an empty shell?

It's a very short exploration game. As I said, that dev is known to make such quirky games.
