They use automated rules to detect middleware from Steam game file containers, so this is not just referencing the technology, but can also serve as a reference for usage even when the developer did not disclose it.Matthias M. (talk)09:28, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This should be resolved before creation. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits)20:01, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
