The V Society has removed nearly 100 Steam games to crack down on digital asset embezzlement and counterfeiting

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, July 8, according to PCGames, the V Society yesterday removed nearly 100 Steam games suspected of embezzling digital assets or counterfeiting well-known games, which is one of the largest actions taken off the shelves of Steam so far.

Many of these removed games are low-cost or even zero-cost development games, developers choose to directly steal the digital assets of well-known games for development, and add similar names to the game title to attract and mislead players to buy and play. The names of some of these games are even more deceptive, such as "Flappy Bird" and "3D Pacman".

In addition, some games posing as official derivatives of popular IP have also been removed by Steam. For example, "Degenerate Souls", once known as one of the best alternatives to the "Soul of Darkness" series, has also been removed from the shelves by V Society, which can no longer be found on Steam.

CTOnews.com previously reported that V Club has recently been rectifying the games on Steam after it issued an AI asset restriction order saying that generative AI games with copyright risks will not be put on the shelves.
