Cool, can you make a toggle to just opt out of even seeing them on my store page? Also extend this feature to companies like EA and the likes...
You can sort of block publishers/devs, if they have their own "steam page." If you click on the publisher/dev in the listings underneath review scores, if it takes you to an actual dedicated page you can click the gear icon on the right and click "ignore this creator."
This does not completely block them but it has them show up in less places (or are greyed out in some places.) Basically they can pop kinda randomly up in sales when steam forgets to add that, or greyed out in the tabs section on the front page (new and trending, top sellers, popular upcoming tabs)
It's not the cure-all "erase EA" button I'm sure we'd all prefer, but it does help a little.
This probably won't help with EA and the like adding kernel-level anti-cheat 6 months after release....
It looks a lot like the "3rd-party EULA" label that appears in the sidebar for some games, below connectivity and controller support. Nice. This ought to make it easier to see if a game meets my basic requirements, and respond quickly when a friend suggests one.
AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.
It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.
I mean Steam doesn't run with privileges so what's the big deal?
