That clarification makes it even worse, this is obviously an attempt to push free to play or indie games out the window while making major bank.
The fraud detection will not help at all to prevent abuse especially in cases like steam family sharing where other “users” won’t have to pay to install the game!
There’s literally no reason to charge per game install here, the only possible reason is greed

The fraud detection is especially bad because they have a financial incentive to ignore, or under-report installation fraud.
Exactly! I’d put money on a group abusing it, admitting to abusing it, and the game devs still being charged in the near future.
