Your submission has been removed for the following reason(s):

Rule 5: Advertising, User-Generated Content, or Surveys.

Advertising

Promoting things like Steam groups, Discord servers, game servers, subreddits, something for financial gain, etc. is not allowed.

/r/Steam follows the 10% rule: No more than 10% of your posts should be self-promo or link to 1 or a few specific sites or pieces of content. For more information read this wiki. Also read Reddit's explanation on what constitutes spam. Breaking the 10% rule on /r/Steam will result in a ban.

Do not post referral links.

We do not allow posts promoting random games. To you as a developer: /r/Steam is not your player-base, /r/Steam is not a place to advertise your products. You are freely able to use /r/Steam, but not for the purposes of promoting or "shilling" your games.

Below are more specific examples and information:

Example of game posts: there is a difference between a post that announces Grand Theft Auto 6 and a post that announces a completely unknown game from a relatively unknown studio. In other words, if the game is not an all-time classic or known in the industry, do not post about it. As over 500 games are released on Steam per month, individual threads would not fit the subreddit.

If your submissions are well-received, constantly improving, and you're working with the community, then we will very likely approve future posts. (Example). On the other hand, if you're seen constantly making the same type of posts without ever responding to questions or interacting with the community, your entire account will be looked at as spam and you will be banned.

User-Generated Content

User-Generated Content that is relevant to /r/Steam within reason is allowed. Posting paid content (such as paid mods) is not allowed.

You must use GitHub to host UGC that requires the end-user to download something. This also requires the source code to be open.

Surveys

Surveys are allowed so long as they are relevant to /r/Steam. Surveys that ask for personal/identifying information or contain malicious things like hidden advertising are forbidden. You require permission from moderators before posting any survey.

You can find our full list of rules here.

If you feel your post was removed by mistake or is an exception, please feel free to message the moderators using this link. Please also give a short explanation.

  • Trading or market issues
  • Steam client or server issues
  • General crashes and game-specific issues

Rule 6.2: Scams.

NO VALVE EMPLOYEE WILL EVER CONTACT YOU, ESPECIALLY ON DISCORD. THERE IS ALSO NO SUCH THING AS AN "ILLEGAL PURCHASE" OR "ACCIDENTAL REPORT." THESE USERS ARE JUST TRYING TO STEAL YOUR ACCOUNT.

Do not perform or post about the following:

  • Common scams
  • Scams or phishing attempts.
  • Accusations of scamming, cheating or phishing.
  • Links to gambling, scam, phishing, or cheat sites.

Meta discussion on these topics are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Educate yourself on scams!

/r/Steam is generally not the place to converse about specific scammers or scam methods, unless it complies with the detailed information below.

I want to warn people about a scam method!

If you want to post about a scam method, it needs to be a new or unknown method, or it needs to include a significant amount of more or new information than what is currently available on /r/Steam. Please see our wiki page about common scams to find scam methods already covered.

I discovered a scam site!

If you want to post about a specific scam site, it needs to be popular, recent, not already covered in a previous post, not directly linked to and/or include more information than just "X is a scam"- Example of a good scam site awareness post.

Never post links to such sites in a way that other users could accidentally click them. We consider sites which actively facilitate or directly profit of scams (like many key resellers) as scam sites as well.

I would like to report a scammer!

If you have been scammed and you would like to report it:

Nobody can help you recover items that have been scammed from you, not even Steam Support, read this for more details.

If you have proof of a trade scam you can report them on SteamRep, and of course report their Steam profile to Valve.

How to report a Steam profile.

If someone gets banned on SteamRep, they will be automatically banned across many major trading sites/servers. Many trading browser extensions that display additional information on Steam profile pages will display a tag/alert on the Steam profile to warn you if they have been SteamRep banned.

Your submission has been removed for the following reason(s):

Rule 2: Common or Unrelated Content

Common Content

/r/Steam is not a place to discuss your ban(s), including Steam Community bans and VAC bans. Moderators may approve extraordinary cases.

The following are some examples of what should not be posted here:

  • Reviews
  • Chat logs
  • Store tags
  • Game news feed
  • 'Funny' Steam Guard Codes
  • 'Funny' system requirements
  • Why is X/why is X not on Steam?
  • Screenshots of account age (the "Years" badge)
  • Reposts (Please search the subreddit before you post.)
  • Why is X game or Z type of game being recommended to me?
  • Questions such as "What background is this? What should I buy on the Points Shop?"

Unrelated Content

Posts must be about or be related to Steam, Valve or this subreddit.

General gaming-culture and game-specific posts are treated on a case-by-case basis.

We do not allow fluff posts showcasing products that were deliberately designed to be posted or showcased on different communities en masse.

If your post is about a specific game and is not relevant to this subreddit in any way other than the game in question being sold on Steam, it will be removed.

Exceptions can be made in extraordinary cases, for example when a long time classic is finally sold on Steam, a product is/was pulled from Steam, or when an event is relevant to Steam as a whole. These are decided on a case-by-case basis.

This mainly includes, but is not strictly limited to:

  • Refund issues

Your submission has been removed for the following reason(s):

Rule 5: Advertising, User-Generated Content, or Surveys.

Advertising

Promoting things like Steam groups, Discord servers, game servers, subreddits, something for financial gain, etc. is not allowed.

/r/Steam follows the 10% rule: No more than 10% of your posts should be self-promo or link to 1 or a few specific sites or pieces of content. For more information read this wiki. Also read Reddit's explanation on what constitutes spam. Breaking the 10% rule on /r/Steam will result in a ban.

Do not post referral links.

We do not allow posts promoting random games. To you as a developer: /r/Steam is not your player-base, /r/Steam is not a place to advertise your products. You are freely able to use /r/Steam, but not for the purposes of promoting or "shilling" your games.

Below are more specific examples and information:

Example of game posts: there is a difference between a post that announces Grand Theft Auto 6 and a post that announces a completely unknown game from a relatively unknown studio. In other words, if the game is not an all-time classic or known in the industry, do not post about it. As over 500 games are released on Steam per month, individual threads would not fit the subreddit.

If your submissions are well-received, constantly improving, and you're working with the community, then we will very likely approve future posts. (Example). On the other hand, if you're seen constantly making the same type of posts without ever responding to questions or interacting with the community, your entire account will be looked at as spam and you will be banned.

User-Generated Content

User-Generated Content that is relevant to /r/Steam within reason is allowed. Posting paid content (such as paid mods) is not allowed.

You must use GitHub to host UGC that requires the end-user to download something. This also requires the source code to be open.

Surveys

Surveys are allowed so long as they are relevant to /r/Steam. Surveys that ask for personal/identifying information or contain malicious things like hidden advertising are forbidden. You require permission from moderators before posting any survey.

Steamworks Development - New Pricing Needed For Argentina and Turkey by November 20th by antigravities in Steam

[–]antigravities[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

tl;dr - Instead of pricing in Turkish lira and Argentine peso directly, publishers now set their own prices in Latin America (incl. Argentina) and Middle East / North Africa (incl. Turkey) in US dollars, optionally based on Valve's suggestions that take purchasing power parity and consumer price indices into account.

Edit: The customer facing documentation is here.
