Pretty sure Steam already does that. And no automated (or even manual) analysis is going to be 100% foolproof, or we wouldn’t be worrying about supply chain attacks in Linux. So that puts us back at square one.

Yeah that’s literally what I said. Seems like the previous guy didn’t understand that. I don’t know why anyone would downvote me for just explaining how it works.

I think because in the context of the discussion, you’re (probably unintentionally?) making it sound like Steam is at fault for not catching the malware.

I mean that’s explicitly what the document above says. They call it a colossal failure of valve to allow such incredibly brazen and malware to exist on their store. If you read the forensic analysis, the writers definitely are very much blaming valve for the breach.

Yes, and a lot of people disagree with them, because they’re dumb.
