Comment on I'm a dev who has been working on my game for 2 years and my game title got stolen on Steam and they plan to release before I do. What should I do?

I’m surprised that it’s allowed to have 2 games with the same name on steam (I guess their Steam IDs aee different). I wonder how steam handles their directories in the /steams/common folder if they have the same root folder name.

It’s been a while since I looked in there but aren’t the games installed under a folder with their Steam ID as the title?

  I know that Savegames and Workshop Mods are, but games usually have their main directory named after whatever the devs decided to name them.

I believe it appends the Steam ID number to the folder name when there’s a conflict
