Bohemia Interactive game studio is lying about -90% sale

[6Pack]

When you launch Steam you get advertisements of different sales, one of them is Bohemia Interactive who is advertising up to -90% sales in Steam, but when you browse their catalog of 24 games and 21 DLC:s, there is not a single product from them that is marked with -90%

This is false advertising and Steam should do something about this.

If someone has tips on where to report this, please let me know.

It says "Up to 80% off.".

No, it says -90% when you check the ad popup. You can check it by going to upper left corner and click "Show" -> "Show update news".

I also verified this with a Steam Discord representative who also first checked from wrong place, but when i told him the -90% is in the popup ads, then he was also able to see it.

So basically a typo..
Those happen.
The advert on the actual store page says 80% though.

There is no official steam discord, so whatever representative you spoke to does not represent STeam or Valve in ANY capacity.

Steam Discord representative is a moderator in official Steam discord server, but is not directly addiliated with Steam/Valve.

As for the discount error, tell Bohemia Interactive.

Steam Discord moderator is not a scammer, he is the person who helps people get their Steam accounts back in example. He has helped my friend get his account back just earlier this week. You can go and check our conversation in the Steam community-support channel too if you want, its open for public.

Valve/Steam does not have an official Discord. Telling people to check it out will only cause problems for everyone, including that fake Steam Discord.

:nkCool:

Then why is there a Discord server named Steam, that has +100 000 users and a "community support" channel where they have dedicated people helping Steam users with account recovery?

They even have live Steam Support Status that shows very precise information of Steam tickets and average response times, in example here is one update from that bot:

Refund Requests: 193,333 requests, 49.48 minutes to 1.52 hours
Account Security & Recovery: 29,695 requests, 2.46 hours to 21.10 hours
Purchase & Billing Support: 8,838 requests, 2.30 hours to 7.26 hours
Game & Steam Technical Support: 4,795 requests, 2.18 hours to 20.20 hours

Yeah. I do really wish people would get that through their heads.
VAlve has no Official Discord Server.
There may well be some scamming going on there.

Because you can name a Discord Channel just about anything when you make it, provided the name isn't already taken.
As for 100K users. People like yourself who THINK it's a legit discord server.
And A community Support..aagain you can name a channel anything you want.
As for people helping others with channel recovery. mmm-Yeah Better question would be how the channel got compromised in the first place.

Now in fairness it may be just a fan community discord that genuinely sets out to help people. But given how many people complain of being scammed because of said server.. I think its doing more harm than good.

That's info from the Steam website that anyone can see.


M'dude just ask yourself. If that really is VAlve/Steams Official legit server. Why is there NO LINK TO, or MENTION OF IT, on Valve's website. Steam's Website or The STeam CLient?
