Earth: Year 2066 Removed From Steam For Dishonest Marketing

Is this it? Have are prayers finally been answered?!?!? Steam QUALITY CONTROL?!?!?!?!?!

Exactly. It's like when I go into a Wal-Mart supercenter, I have no idea if the fresh produce they sell is "all-natural" or not, regardless of whatever labels the producer puts on it. Wal-Mart has absolutely no responsibility in the quality of the products they sell. And if customers don't like it, they can get a refund from the farmer and then go shop at Origin K-Mart.

I'm having difficulty processing this: so if you buy food that is labelled organic for example and it isn't, it is NOT the responsibility of the shop to guarantee the labels are what they say?
And that to take steps against it the customer would have to go seek a refund from the farmer?

Maybe it's my french heritage speaking here but if I find that sooo very wrong.

None of those things are the case in US food markets. MinionJoe was using sarcasm to highlight the difference between how software sales (as well as all disc media sales in general in the US) and pretty much all other sales are handled ethics-wise.

Doh! Yeh that makes a lot more sense.
