Several titles, including Food Devils, were set to release today but remain unapproved as submissions sit in unexpectedly long approval queues. Developers say the delays, which have cropped up recently across social media, are disrupting marketing plans and coordinated release schedules built around specific dates.
Why now: A wave of indie developers publicly reporting missed launch dates due to Steam's slow approvals is drawing attention from players and the industry.
