Steam Introduces New Rules for Store Page Descriptions
Starting in September, developers must adhere to stricter guidelines, including a ban on external links and UI-mimicking imagery.
- Valve aims to reduce distractions and improve user experience on game pages.
- New rules apply to 'About the Game,' 'Short Description,' 'Special Announcements,' and 'Awards' sections.
- Developers can no longer include links to other websites or games within these sections.
- Embedded images mimicking Steam UI elements are also prohibited.
- Changes follow recent updates to demo visibility and prologue game listings.
