Last week's cleaning of "fake games" from Steam resulted in the closure of one "development team"

Last week Valve finally decided to deal with the cleaning of all kind of garbage that began to accumulate on Steam. Exactly 173 games were removed from the leading digital game distribution service, most of which were linked with the "development team" Silicon Echo. It seems that this have been quite enough for the same to close doors as they have just stated that Valve with its actions completely destroyed the studio.

"This situation has completely destroyed everything we've been doing in the past three years and we had to give up on developing video games. Mostly because our reputation is irretrievably destroyed, but also because of financial reasons. We would like if they have warned us earlier so we can focus on a different business development plan", they said from Silicon Echo.

"All those who bought our games did it by their own choice and everyone knew what they were buying. People who call us the creators of so-called "fake games" are only partially right because we always worked our own levels using the basic resources that we would get by buying the asset kits, and every last one of them had licenses that allowed us to use them for commercial purposes. "

Among that, Silicon Echo understands why their business model is at least questionable, but also insist that there is a valid reason of the way they published games. "We're not heroes, we've done some of the things that people might call suspicious. For example, creating more different developers even though everyone would be linked to the same account and listed under the same publisher. This was done primarily for easier statistical monitoring because we did not consider it a problem since all games were publicly listed under the same publisher and there was no deception."

It should be pointed out that none of this will most likely prompt Valve to return all of Silicon Echo games to Steam, and if their death sentence was not given last week they would buried themselves with such statements.
