I don't think most malware devs care about brand reputation

    I think that has nothing to do with my objection.

    Well if a virus dev lied and hurt their rep it wouldn't matter.

    A steam dev lying has brand reputation to care about. Any company larger than a 3 person indie team has to care about PR if they want to be more than a one hit studio.

    So I think it matters because its an impactful distinction between reality and your anecdote

    I didn't say virus dev, but an antivirus dev / tool. It's like you trust only an antivirus tool, that relies on what the virus devs report. The antivirus tool represents the Steam filter in my objection.
