Hi guys, checking back to you to send you all a hug for the upcoming new year. Also want to give you the short information that my Ylands guides content but also other guides content that I wrote got stolen by some page in the net that does traffic with steam guides content it seems. The whole content theft he does has such an huge extend that it is easy to proof and that I had to write to the steam support because a lot, and I really mean a lot of steam guide writers seem to be affected. The whole page seems to be mainly set up by stolen steam guides content that does traffic for that guy. I don't want to post now the link to not give that guy the traffic I already cause by all my DMCA notifications I did sent to the provider and steam. However I did contact at first the page owner who did ignore my message and then the provider of that page, in the worst case the provider is also the violator, but you can never know, so I just requested them to take my content down within 14days and also told them that if they don't take the whole page down a lot more complaints might come in soon, because I am going to give the information to all the guide writers in case that steam also doesn't want to take action. I also gave the infos to steam of course to give them a possiblity to take action before I make anyone upset, which I really would like to avoid, but in case that the support trys to just give me a standard message to get rid of me they might regret that soon. This might go even public, because I do believe steam doesn't like content theft from their page, even not in the community guides and in the worst case for that thief he might have to pay for his violation. There is a possibility to let google know about this too and in that case he might be taken off all search machines. However I took at first care that that page will not go on stealing as good as I could by giving the information to steam and the provider of that page. Every help offer will be of course very much appreciate, because this is not just affecting one person that does some social and vulonteer work for games on steam! I do think we should not tolerate theft at this and this is not about me but about all those people that do work for early access games on steam. We all do not get paid for all the hours we do put into this, of course you could just say: Hey why reacting at all! But my feeling tells me that we may not allow that to happen, because a lot of people that work for free would get demotivated and stop working for games like this! I am just an old lady that got the time to support the really great early access games but I assure you I do put my heart into supporting young people that develop games because I was earlier 3d designer and my husband is programmer. I love playing and I love the developers because I know how much heart they put themselves into this! And if you can support me now in any way feel free to contact me in this case on steam by a comment on my profil "Luna plays". Thank You! Have a Happy New Year Luna plays
