At least 20 curator pages with tens of thousands of followers vanished overnight.
to any of the curator pages now redirects to the same message:"This group has been removed for violating the Steam Community Rules and Guidelines."
In addition to the nine pages that posted negative Brok reviews, darklinkpower also noticed 11 more curators caught in this ban wave. Most of these pages banned had pretty generic names like One To Ten Reviews, Just Review It, Quality Detector, and my personal favorite, Brevity Is The Soul Of Wit. It's possible that more fraudulent curators were banned last night, but it's hard to tell unless you already know which pages to check up on.
The scale of this apparent curator scamming problem is unclear.
Valve has made no official comment about the curator bans. I've reached out for more information and will update if we hear anything back.Morgan has been writing for PC Gamer since 2018, first as a freelancer and currently as a staff writer. He has also appeared on Polygon, Kotaku, Fanbyte, and PCGamesN. Before freelancing, he spent most of high school and all of college writing at small gaming sites that didn't pay him. He's very happy to have a real job now.
