It originally did, but once someone ran an article on it, people adviced the admin that his current reviews might afoul of steam policies, so they went back and revised all the reviews be neutral statements that SBI was involved, linking a source for each.

However, all the ratings on this curator are negative non-recommends, with SBI involvement as the stated reason. So it's hard to paint it as just a neutral list.

That said, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. If you want to avoid a company's games, that should be allowed.

It still remains in the curator's logo.

Does it? The only logo I see is the SBI logo combined with a Metal Gear Solid !

Ah, they've changed it. Yes, I see same as you.

This was also reported on during the weekend, and when I looked into it then they had the Sweet Baby Inc logo with a big "forbidden" slashed red circle over it.

I don't see the problem.

But I do like the new logo. Because it looks cool.

I don’t see the problem.

That's fine. I was providing context for the otherwise confusing claim that the curator was de-recommending games.

Is it confusing? You can go to their page right now and every single game on the list is listed as "Not recommended".

I think it's clear, but discussion here and other places indicate it's not immediately clear.
