11 bit studios has released a statement saying it will no longer issue Steam keys to curators.
The developer, known for This War of Mine and Frostpunk, will follow this rule starting from today, following on from the recent awareness of key scammers posing as curators.
In its statement, the studio said that the decision was made based on its own experiences and those of other developers.
“Based on our and other devs’ experiences, most of the requests come from fake accounts used to gather and resell the keys,” the statement reads. 11 bit also said they weren’t concerned about losing reviews from curators as they “don’t seem to bring any value for the community”.
