Sega admits it has taken up arms against the Yakuza: Like a Dragon SteamDB page by mistake
The SteamDB website creator, Pavel Djundik, happily announced in his microblog that the portal had managed to resolve a recent conflict with the Sega publishing house.
Recall that at the beginning of the week, Jundik announced Sega’s request to the resource’s administration to remove the page of the criminal role-playing game Yakuza: Like a Dragon from SteamDB.
The Japanese publisher suspected SteamDB of illegal distribution of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, although there was no reason for this – the portal only collects information about Steam’s games.
While waiting for a response from Sega, Jundik hid the Yakuza: Like a Dragon page. Still, by now, it is already available again: the publisher admitted that it had taken up arms against SteamDB by mistake.
“Earlier this week, one of our games was mislabeled on SteamDB. We use anti-piracy software to protect our projects, but sometimes it makes mistakes. Sega will continue to refine these systems to avoid similar situations in the future. We want to thank SteamDB for their cooperation and assistance in resolving this issue quickly, ”reads an official Sega comment.
Earlier, Jundik admitted that such complaints come to the SteamDB address at least once a year, but in most cases, the conflict can be resolved before it is made public.
Like a Dragon, the western release of Yakuza took place in November 2020 on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S. In early March 2021, the game reached PS5.
