Steam removes blockchain games from its platform
An update to Steam rules and policies shows that the site has banned games based on blockchain technology or that enable NFT and cryptocurrency trading.
Valve will ban games that trade NFTs from the platform
Steam has updated its onboarding page for partners and Steamworks users, clarifying that Valve will soon ban games that trade NFTs from the platform. Under the heading "what you shouldn't publish on Steam," a new rule states that "applications based on blockchain technology that enable the issuance or exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs" should not be distributed on the platform.Game developers are reporting that their games that use NFTs are being removed from the platform. One example of this is the game Age Of Rust, in which players collect NFTs in-game. The game tweeted on its main account that "Steam will be kicking all blockchain games off the platform, including Age Of Rust. " The Age Of Rust's Twitter account adds that its understanding is that "Steam takes the stance that items have value, and they do not allow items on their platform that may have real-world value."
Mir4 is one of the affected games
Numerous games on Steam currently incorporate NFTs and cryptocurrencies into their gameplay. One of them is Mir4, a free-to-play open world Asian-fantasy MMORPG where users can earn using NFTs found in the game. One of the players told Cryptonary that they can't make any purchases using their steam wallet anymore. A community manager in the Discord of Mir4 also explained the only way the game could be back on Steam is by either removing the function entirely from the Steam client or the whole game.Aside from an update to Steamworks rules and policies, Valve has yet to comment on its stance towards NFT games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
