Valve Says It Will Now Allow Everything on Steam Unless It's Illegal or "Straight-up Trolling"

Nobody needs to buy those games for them to be profitable on Steam, and that's the problem. They are financing themselves through the Steam trading card system by basically selling those to the card collectors

Also, the problem isn't only buying or not - try finding something you don't know the exact name of when over 100 games get added per week

So they've found a way to play the system and you want to stop them from doing it? While it is pretty shitty that these developers make a living making these types of lazy games, the fact remains that they have a legal right to do it as long as they don't use stolen assets. While I can understand you wanting Valve to "stick it to them", if it comes at the expense of more bad moderation like the recent erotic games situation, I can live with these types of lazy asset flip games existing. I certainly won't be buying them, and I don't really feel like infringing on the rights of others to buy those games if they choose to.

As for your 2nd point, Valve did say they plan to add better tools for allowing consumers to find the games they want to find. Hopefully they are able to deliver on that promise. 

They are promising that for years already, but nothing changed yet
