Wow.. what a dick move. I guess the competition is hurting them...lol so they try to silence competition in the hopes people just buy off steam.

I guess they think people aren't capable of going online, idiots.

Shut down what group, the CAG?

Oh, they did! Crazy.

BS, has it even been used to advertise non-steam deals? I thought it was primarily so that CAGs could play together and for steamgifts giveaways.

crap! I just got in today too!

Just saw a topic about it on SteamGifts http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/nG1j...heap-ass-gamer

All they've accomplished by doing this is making me want to buy from other sites. A majority of the games added to my Steam library last year didn't even come from Steam itself - mostly Amazon, Humble Bundles, and Indie Gala.

EDIT: Response from Steam Support: http://forums.steamgames.com/forums/...8&postcount=22

I apologize for the confusion, but the investigation has been conculded. The lock on the group is not going to be removed because advertising and sales groups are not permitted on steam. This is covered in the SSA and the Rules of conduct.

This is really lame. The focus of the group wasn't even to provide information for the best deals around. Not a very smart move on Steam's part, since it accomplished nothing but to piss people off.

That truly is a dumb decision by Valve. Taking down these groups makes me less informed about what games are on sale, decreasing the amount of money I'm gonna be spending on Steam.

Is anyone working on getting the group back? Did Valve say anything on why the group was disabled in the first place?

Where is the person responsible for the group?

Darn... Looking like this might be a permanent closure. Real dick moves on their part

Booo :(

Any news on the CAG steam group being disabled?

Cheapy or Wombat just make another group and call it Wombat Wanabees or something. Stupid idiots. F you steam.

May the flood of invite requests resume.
