WHAT THIS SECTION PROVES  

This archive indexes 16,319 saved records: public GitHub issues, Trustpilot reviews, Reddit posts, web records and Valve Developer Community edit-log entries. It supplies the retained text and source paths used to investigate account security, API changes, enforcement and consumer complaints. The source-file manifest records the recovered exports and their hashes.

**Wiki category provenance (7,620 records · 46.7%):**  All 7,620 Wiki-labelled entries in the published index point to `developer.valvesoftware.com`. The collector identifies them as “Valve Developer Wiki Edit”, in the “Wiki Moderation & Contributor Log” category. The unit is a recorded wiki edit. These entries belong to the Master CSV collection; the separate broader export remains available as  [TOTAL_VALVE_SCANDALS_MASTER_DB.csv](https://phishdestroy.io/steam_dossier/VALVE_EVIDENCE_PACK/databases/TOTAL_VALVE_SCANDALS_MASTER_DB.csv) .

This searchable archive was built on **2026-09-17**  from the source exports listed above. The separate 40,448-row master export used elsewhere in the dossier has a different scope. See the  [build manifest](https://phishdestroy.io/steam_dossier/steam_tos_assets/archive_manifest.json)  for this archive’s counts; records can overlap and are not unique incidents.

## The build and its source files

 

This archive merges 249 duplicate rows and excludes one row from 16,569 inputs, leaving 16,319 distinct records. A record can describe an event already covered by another record. Search covers titles, authors, source labels and displayed excerpts; full saved text opens with each record.

The bundle contains the recovered exports matching the build’s row counts and its three recorded JSON paths. The original build did not record input hashes or a master CSV path; the companion manifest documents the recovered files and the comparison with the published index.

Record fields, missing text and overlapping exports

Dates, ratings, categories and issue states reproduce the source exports. A missing URL stays missing. “[removed]” or “[deleted]” markers do not identify who removed a post or why. The Steam / Valve filter is a text match, not a relevance assessment.

“Export matches” downloads index entries with excerpts; “Download record” includes the full saved text. The separate  [40,448-row master CSV](https://phishdestroy.io/steam_dossier/VALVE_EVIDENCE_PACK/databases/TOTAL_VALVE_SCANDALS_MASTER_DB.csv)  and  [1,690-row GitHub CSV](https://phishdestroy.io/steam_dossier/VALVE_EVIDENCE_PACK/databases/github_valve_unpatched_bugs.csv)  are broader exports, not the source counts for this build.
