If you see a game that was made by the developers "Indie Games 3000" do not buy it

[Xddc]

Indie Games 3000 is a company alias to upload their games from mobile and port them to steam. This is a very sneaky tactic that lots of foriegn countries use to try and make you cave in and buy microtransactions in bundles which are insanely expensive. The real makers of the game are Commodore Engineering; and here's the kicker.
Commodore Engineering's games are all free.
Indie Games 3000 stole Commodore Engineering's games to turn a profit by selling Commodore Engineering's games at a low price.

This isn't just copy and pasting; it is literally theft of an companies intellectual properties since Indie Games 3000 puts a pricetag on Commodore Engineerings free work.

To be honest though; nothing of Commodore Engineering's work is high quality or AAA status, so Indie Games 3000 stealing these games and uploading them with a pricetag may of been the easiest robbery they've pulled off.

This should be seen as a felony, and the games micro transactions forced by steam to be $0.00 as well as the games becoming free. I mean; they literally stole from another company.

Do not support thieves
Do not support Indie Games 3000

If those two companies are actually different from each other (it could be, they are working under the same umbrella), that's primarily a legal issue for the company to solve, who those games were taken from.
Steam does have ways to report copyright violations, so maybe a better way for you would be, to inform the mobile game company about this situation.

On our customer end here, the ultimate question is only, are those good or bad games, and are they worth the money, they ask for.
Might even be, that they are adjusted to a paid sale by removing the microtransaction aspects and being sold as a whole.

P.S.: Don't forget, Valve pays out at a delay. If the games are indeed stolen and are reported soon enough as that by the copyright holder, the publisher here won't get to see any money from their sales.

Not the same companies under the same umbrella.
Steam should make it so Indie Games 3000 faces some punishment and I think there's a more perfect permanent solution for such a violation:
1) All games uploaded by them and any ingame microtransactions are demonetized (Costs ingame that require real money reduced to $0.000)
2 ) The price of the ingame currency %95 for said microstransactions, freezing the ability in any sense for cruel and unusual grinding.
3 ) All monetary profits seized, frozen, and burned, all their profits and everything in their steam wallet being sent to steam with %100 profit going to them.
4 ) Can only upload 1 game a year so Steam can modify it with steps 1 through 3.

This Commodore Engineering? https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/commodore

They have a few paid Steam versions of their mobile games. As do plenty of developers who release on both platforms, mind.

Anyway, if another company stole from them, that's up to them to take action on. Valve won't just take steps without actual proof from the original owners. In the meantime, if people want to buy games they fancy, that's fine.

Can't say I can find anything of that other develoepr you mentioned.

Ultimately y0u have to tell these people

To report it to steam. Steam isnt going to do anything because 'you said so'

You are aware, that this might risk hurting the copyright holder even more, as by this way, the game might become better than the mobile version and draw users from it?
Also it requires programming on the game's end, and that is something, Valve definitely will never do, and most likely would legally not be allowed to do either.

As I, and some after me, said: Contact the game owner and let them sort this stuff out.

Unfortunately, you can't do anything about this.
You have to contact the company and have them take care of this.

Steam can't afford to take your word for it.
That's not your fault, it's just how this works.

The company itself, must be the one.

They need to ban CS:GO. More issues with hacking than any other game on Steam and it was created by Valve.

There are other games with more cheaters.
