ABOUT Sentinels of the Store

It's Time for Real Change

The Sentinels of the Store is a group founded on the core values of transparency, fairness, and consumer protection. Our journey began when we saw the urgent need to address the growing concerns within the Steam ecosystem. Together, we formed the Sentinels of the Store to champion the rights of both consumers and developers, ensuring that everyone in our community is treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.

What We Stand For

We are unwavering in our mission to protect consumers from malpractice and deceit. Our commitment to transparency ensures that you can trust the games you purchase and the developers you support.

We believe in fostering a healthy environment where developers can thrive without fear of exploitation or unfair treatment. By advocating for fair enforcement of policies, we ensure that all developers, big or small, have an equal opportunity to succeed.

We take a firm stance against those who seek to undermine the integrity of the Steam platform. We actively work to identify and expose bad actors, ensuring that they face the consequences of their actions.

Consistency and fairness are at the heart of our approach. We strive to assist Valve in the enforcement of Steam's policies, making sure that rules are applied equally to all, without favoritism or bias.

Our Vision

We envision a Steam community where:

  • Consumers are protected and informed.
  • Developers are respected and supported.
  • Policies are clear, fair, and consistently enforced.
  • Transparency and accountability are the norms, not the exceptions.

We believe that real change is possible, but it requires the collective effort and support of each member of our community.

Together, we can build a better Steam community for all. Stand with us, and let’s make real change happen.

Obey the Fist! Dec 8 @ 6:26pm 
One would imagine that, outside the circumstance of a sole developer dying, someone alive has access to the account despite the business no longer being functional, and also likes money, so would probably withdraw it. I doubt stranded money happens that often.

Interesting. In theory it would just sit there forever, eh?

@robilar5500 Steam take their 30% and the remaining amount is kept in a holding account for the developer/publisher to cash out still. So really, it goes nowhere.

Question: when a dev/studio/pub goes out of business and Valve no longer has a means to pay somebody for their game being sold, where does that money go?
Keeper Of Monsters Nov 16 @ 11:01am 
Yeah, same - both Fantasyland and CrazyCar.
Both games were removed from library, posts that I've made in both games' community groups are deleted and I'm banned.
Not that it affects me much, but it's such a scam moves...
Result?
All games from that so-called "developer" are marked to be ignored in the store.

He just banned me from Fantasyland discussions.
I called him out for revoking the game + the dlc. First he deletes the comments ,then he bans you.
