Hey! I wanted to share our experience as a studio with multiple games that has been facing issues with the current moderation methods.
Throughout the year, we have consistently experienced sudden map removals, some of which were reasonable and others not so much. In most cases, the issues have been minor and manageable by our team, often involving small fixes rather than significant IP infringements, unlike some of the more blatant violations we often see in Discover.
The problem is that these removals occur without warning, and, in our case, frequently happen on weekends. We are exhausted from having to remain obsessively vigilant because any of our games could be suddenly taken down—an extreme and deeply damaging measure for a studio given the relatively minor issues typically cited.
We urgently need a warning system that allows developers to address minor problems in a constructive manner, while reserving harsher penalties for accounts that blatantly abuse IP or clearly disregard guidelines.
The lack of such differentiation has become a serious problem.
