Valve isn’t powerful enough to force big publishers to stop their anti-consumer practices. They will just use their own store, and Valve will lose a revenue stream.
Valbe should automatically stop sales of any game that dips from verified to unplayable over these shenanigans.
I don’t think they should stop sales, but they should offer refunds at the publisher’s expense if the issue isn’t resolved within X number of days.
They are welcome to do both. Immediately stop selling and after a X number of days allow refunds at the publishers expense.
