Looked into this, found a source: https://steamyouoweus.co.uk/faqs/ points made by @Cethin@lemmy.zip are legit.

I did a quick scroll on that site, but couldn't find any sources or evidence about Valve actually doing this

I don't know why people come here, act like other people are wrong, and haven't done the bare minimum to look into the case. It's literally what this case is about. It's even in the article for this post.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted. Click the link! I'm sorry that it's against the mega-corporation that you like. They make a great product, but stop defending them for literally anything they do. I can't believe people on Lemmy, of all places, still do this shit. Maybe it's astroturfing? That's the only thing that makes sense.
