Ruby Nealon, who created the game called Watch Paint Dry, is a game about watching paint dry.
It made its way onto Steam without going through Greenlight or acquiring an elusive Valve stamp-of-approval.
Thanks to Nealon, the vulnerability he exploited has now been fixed.
He helped them fix this backdoor into Steam, which was his agenda from the start.
?I was responsible for Watch paint dry.
Getting caught was part of my plan.
Its just a prank, bro!
However, Nealon reported his incredible exploit on Medium.
So, how did he manage to publish his game on Steam?
To start with, he acquired a Steamworks account through unspecified means.
Once done, Watch Paint Dry was in Steams New Release Section.
Or just dont allow users to set the item to Released.
