Ill post more stuff if I see anything else, I doubt it.

Something for your consideration.

I dont even know if this group is active anymore, but here's a giggle. http://store.steampowered.com/app/485890/

@Kreata We have a post on him. He'll continue to delete your comments as it takes less effort for him to delete than you to post. Your best chance is not to go for him, but his supporters.

I had my 37 comments deleted...
The fight is still going on

Jesus christ. Watch paint dry... the game? Made in rpg maker? ♥♥♥♥ steam greenlight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkkEdqmB350 This is my new favourite thing.

Sorry for the absence... working on making my game. Uh, lets see.... wow, greenlight has certainly not stopped being greenlight in my leave.

Oath of Genesis, Asset flip and comments delete.

I take a small break and Lato's ♥♥♥♥ clone game gets greenlit. Do people not realize that they already greenlit it? The bloody hell... anyway... *reads comments*

@Vurahn
Don't worry. Sir Bedlam absolutely deserves to be here. My group at least has had a long and not so friendly history with him. He is both unprofessional and has less maturity of a 5 year old.

I'm not entirely sure if behavior alone constitutes mention here, but here's one to check out that I had almost forgotten about. Sir Bedlam Productions!

Take a gander through the comments, specifically those from the "developer". Keep in mind this is also a resubmission; the first time was perhaps even more ridiculous but I never saved it because, well, I didn't think I was going to ever need it. He wanted my head on a stick the first time, but was more level-headed with me on the resubmission.

I don't think I've ever seen a more chaotic and melodramatic display on Steam. I dont know how he chooses which posts to attack and which posts to delete. I actually kinda dislike mentioning it because I feel bad for the guy, but that kind of behavior just doesn't fly on a professional storefront.

This is his game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/377980/

and here's the tantrum he had http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/421110/discussions/0/494632506574157194/

and his other game on greenlight: http://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/app/421110/discussions/0/494632506574157194/

Sonnolo being classic.

Called me a slave, after removing him.

If you didn't know, this guy is a complete immature person. He had a tantrum in another topic, calling everyone slave and cussing at people. Not to mention that his very own game had stolen door sound effects from doom, the last time I've checked.

@Miss Nemesis
Could you please explain who Sonolo is, possible link his game(s).

I think it's only a matter of time before Welge implodes now. Possibly facing legal action by what Sham showed. DMCA vs commercial usage is some pretty serious stuff in the world of IPs.

AllShamNoWow's playthrough of PanzerGaming's x-17
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQCvvrkPDJc

The game is a mess. Jason has put on his "I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore" hat. The game uses copyrighted songs (Mad world, Thriller, Chicken dance), blinding particle effects, and lastly in the middle of 'serious' cutscenes they do silly little dances complete with silly songs.

14:15 of the AllShamNoWow video Mark bursts into the chicken dance in the middle of a conversation with an NPC... no context it just happens... and then he holds a conversation like nothing happened.

15:12 of the video Mark breaks the fourth wall and inquires who wrote the script.

16:58 Mark says to the viewer (or npc) 'This is a crap game and you know it I'm the main character and I don't even want to be in it'

@Foz I heard Smed's finally gone at least. I dont know who, if anyone's, taken over yet though.

Oh, shout out to Demon Sword for his suggestion and research.
His youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_egjDX9tVE4GzZ6NPsMGOg

Also, shout out to the cats having sex outside my window. It's the most funny and annoying thing ever. The female sounds like a human... I can't stop laughing.

I just googled that Smedley SOE. I only deal with indie/steam devs. Though the game recommendation queue is actually available to all members. So, if you have issues you're free to state them to the populace. I just give cliffnotes really...

@Crimson can you add Blizzard and SOE to your list of shoddy developers please. They are about as bad as they come when its comes to censorship. Actuaally any company dumb enough to hire Smedley.

Typically, whenever a developer is criticized or questioned about something and they resort to avoiding the question or just simply deleting and banning, they themselves become questionable. Especially when asked simple questions about assets in the game, or a bad review, and so on. This in the face of no one breaking any Steam discussion rules.

It's based on their business practices. The whole point is to keep them from trying to scam people into buying their products or putting them on the storefront.

@Foz
Censorship.

I am a bit confused. Some of these developers haven't even released games yet. How are they shoddy, when we've not experienced the product?

If PanzerGamingStudios sold their games for like $1 - $3 I doubt anyone would have a problem with them. Cheap Games sell fast as especially during steam sales and since it's a lower price less people would refund. Many devs enter steam with delusions of grandeur... I believe Time Ramesside, Sacred Stone, and X-17 would have made enough to fund a pet project and as such he could have avoided scamming (since he's using assets anyway) and did a bigger -or- a smaller project with an actual budget.

I'm not really a fan of shovelware, if people drop their ego and actually came to others honest alot of people would be more caring/ accepting. Then again, I'm ignoring the fact that Jason is actively trying to scam everyone... his "demo reel" was targeted at beginner developers and all. Ugggh, why... I want to believe in humanity, but they keep letting me down.

*Deletes last comment* Ugh... nevermind it was just steam's comment system messing up. The dev did delete comments, but they were in my eyes comments that had nothing to do with the game and therefore justified. *Kicks pebble in boredom* Well, I guess I'll call it a day then.

Great group! Good to have around. And to shoddy devs who would read this; The internet at large is not stupid. You WILL get called out for bad practices. Someone is going to take notice. Your quick grabs for cash will just end in disaster.

Haha... Klace seems to be an interesting guy. One minute of searching and I find out that he's stolen someone's IP and refused to pay royalties. This is incedibly interesting. His game isn't unappealing, but he's most certainly a scumbag for that.

I should have looked into why the game's gone before posting, but it seems to be coming back.

Why its gone: https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/games/417990/announcements/detail/842542556770191735

Its coming back(in 10 days) : https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/games/417990/announcements/detail/842542556770293218

I'll archive it. If he has no storepage or greenlight there is no reason to call attention to him.

I suppose the next dev that you could research would be Klace https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XXhFSC0yMqvU3zXXqjwOfAayAuxVLsOTk-OaUs0JzHk/edit

Even though his game Major/Minor is no longer on the storepage.

Nice group fam +1

After countless butthurt dialogues that ultimately had been deleted by developers like these, particularly lato, I have found sanctum amongst my peers.

@[Filth]Earl Welcome, friend.

Hello?! This as a member of many such organizations Im proud to be apart of this group. Amen Boys will be Boys~~~

Oh yes... Lord Kres.
Ever since refunds became a thing his threat level has went down, but he's still one of the worst developers on steam for me. I'll do a write up tomorrow when I get the time.

I've heard rumors that lord kres, the guy behind the infamous Journey Of The Light, has been trying to push something through greenlight. Keep an eye out!

ha

thank you for the invite to this group:)

i love games so much, i do not have a problem pointing out pure scam artists

i try to hold them accountable for their theft thru their misdeeds and actions

this is a bad practice that can make people gun shy of true indie artists that put in the work for people to enjoy a good game

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dude...
I made the mistake of researching Jason Welge. After hours of looking I'm still finding stuff that noone knew about him. He's like a cow that doesn't run out of milk. I am too exhausted to look into any other scammers for the day and I'm still not finished with Welge.

Thanks for the invite.

@RoboACop
I just HATE hentai visual novels. Valve should add a special filter for the visual novels. Steam is a place to play games, not to watch at naked girls kissing men.

I love this group already.

@RoboACop No, it's more for pointing out shady greenlight devs who censor, scam, etc. and who to avoid like that. At least from my knowledge, anyway.
