Valve is bringing some big changes to the Steam trading card system in order to prevent fake games exploits.
A Steam blog post has addressed an issue around trading cards, in which fake games were being created to generate cards which could then be sold on the market for profit.
The process comes from an allowance Steam gives to developers which lets them generate thousands of keys for their games. Where this becomes a problem is when these fake developers do this for fraudulent games and then use bots to have the games run idle and collect trading cards.
Steam says that the profiteering side of the exploit is only part of the problem, as the bots can potentially have an impact on the Steam Store's algorithm. Having a fake game played by many bots means the algorithm runs the risk of mistaking it for a popular title and may begin to suggest it to real players.
