Another Atomic Fabrik update.

This evening, Valve emailed me re: a report I wrote about some of what I believed to be games that AF still owned on Steam.

AF denied these claims, alleging in the X post that all of these titles had been reacquired by other developers/publishers.

Valve said they would investigate.

4 minutes after receiving this email, a further 7 games were banned from Steam.

Seemingly another lie from Cristian.

Granted, there were more games I alleged to still be owned than just these 7, but no action has been taken as of now.

I will accept the results that come of Valve investigating the games, and any games remaining after the next few days I will remove from our curator.

Cristian deleted his post today, so here's an archive I made https://archive.is/k86F0

be careful not to come across someone too big...Such people don’t stop at just a message on the internet...

This is clearly a threat. Probably an empty one.

The bit about charity is also obviously a lie from someone who's already demonstrated zero moral integrity. If he was donating to a charity it would feature on every single one of his games pages because it's a major selling point.

As to the whining about "not changing anything", well, Sentinels, again Cristian is wrong.

The work that you guys did to get those scam games removed from Steam has sent a message to other scammers that their actions won't be tolerated forever by Valve. Cristian and his scams were a primary source of the pollution on Steam and they're gone. Those who would follow in his footsteps will think again.

That's a definite, and positive change. Congratulations guys, you did it.

Absolutely ridiculous to think anyone is "competing" with asset flips. That entire statement rests on the absolutely false presumption that Cristian Manolachi is a genuine developer and not a proven scammer... and the fake reviews and proven asset flips linked back to the original SellMyApp assets that he continually flipped all demonstrates that clearly.

Usually Cristian keeps his mouth absolutely sealed tight because criminals know if they jump when called out for doing something they know is wrong, it only makes them look more guilty.

Now that he got caught, he's lost his ♥♥♥♥. Good. Maybe now he'll try to think twice about using Steam as his personal scam machine.

The actions of asset flippers, review manipulators like Cristian Manolachi are not harmless.

"Epic Games like to pick up Steam's reject developers, and something tells me you'll still be continuing in game development."

I was scrolling through the SteamDB Discord's recently removed/banned game list and I saw it was FLOODED with Atomic Fabrik games. Got onto Steam just to see this post at the top of my activity feed. Great job for reporting on this issue and ruining this guys scheme/grift. Justice is so satisfying to see happen and it's even better when the offending party screams and whines about it.

With someone who is willing to take advantage of others for financial gain, of course he had no qualms with trying to harm your reputations in return.
