I am disappointed about the Evenicle 2 news as well and I agree that it would be nice if Steam made a consistent policy. But I think saying that Steam has been going back and forth for years is making an assumption that Valve functions like most other companies. I don't think there is a lot of evidence that is true. Valve seems to very rarely set actual policies. They seem to give a lot of discretion to individual employees and those employees do what they want to do. So, individual developers or individual games experience something, the developers or publishers talk about that experience, and people make the assumption that a policy has changed that applies to everyone. But I think it is much more likely that an individual Valve employee made a decision and it only applied in that specific case for the employee's own reasons. If a similar situation arose for a different developer or a different game, it might be treated completely differently by a different Valve employee.
