“Changes to be Made to Written Descriptions on Store Pages” Steam shared a blog post titled, Within the scope of new steps, first of all, shared: “The main purpose of our store pages is to help players make informed purchasing decisions by providing information about developers’ games. We’ve noticed a trend lately that makes this experience a bit more difficult, with some developers using this area to present information or links that take the focus off of the game. We want players to be able to learn about your game! That’s why we’re introducing new rules starting in September to provide a more positive experience on Steam for both developers and players.” Stating that it will introduce new rules as of the beginning of September, the company wrote the following on this subject: “We will be implementing new rules around what can be included in the written description on your store page. We understand that changes to the written game description section can be disruptive and take time to update. That’s why we wanted to outline the upcoming rule changes here so you can change the content of your page to comply with these rules before we implement the new rules.”
