Steam Screenshots must now 'represent the game'

[CM30]

Well, this should make choosing games to play on Steam a bit easier and a tad less of a gamble! Because they've updated the rules for games on the service, which now state that screenshots posted for them have to be actual screenshots of the game. Here's the rule's text:

Regardless of the content in your game, please make sure that images uploaded to the 'screenshot' section of you store page are actually screenshots of your game

So yeah, it seems like we won't be getting any more No Man's Sky type fiascos any time soon, since misleading pictures are against the rules there now.

But what do you think? Are you happy about the change? Or are you a tad disappointed that this wasn't the case to begin with?

This makes little sense. As far as I know, the only way to "upload" a screenshot is to press F12 WHILE playing a game! lol

BTW, I like No Man's Sky.

Well, isn't that the controversial opinion? Say that on the subreddit, and they'd eat you alive!
