INVESTIGATION MATERIALS / SOURCE COLLECTION 002 # Steam Evidence Archive — 16,319 Sourced Records Every claim. *Back to the source.* WHAT THIS SECTION PROVES This forensic archive indexes 16,319 primary source records—spanning Valve Developer Community documentation, public GitHub issues, verified Trustpilot complaints, and archived forum reports—with cryptographic hashes and provenance logs. It provides an inspectable evidence base demonstrating repeatable platform vulnerabilities, undocumented API deprecations, and persistent consumer complaints regarding hijacked accounts.
