Valbe should automatically stop sales of any game that dips from verified to unplayable over these shenanigans.

I don't think they should stop sales, but they should offer refunds at the publisher's expense if the issue isn't resolved within X number of days.

They are welcome to do both. Immediately stop selling and after a X number of days allow refunds at the publishers expense.

This just in: Rockstar Games announces GTA 6 and RDR 3 will only be available on Rockstar Social Club.

Valve isn't powerful enough to force big publishers to stop their anti-consumer practices. They will just use their own store, and Valve will lose a revenue stream.
