I guess that was inevitable.
Shame, I was proud of that badge.

Now you'll have to check members if they are in "Steamworks Development" group.

"Official Group for Steamworks Development Support
NOTE: This group is restricted and visible only to accounts with Steamworks access."

:/

LoL this Valve...

Oh, bad news.

They got rid of them because I guess some devs were selling their badges to others, who in turn tried to scam people or something like that. So a big THANKS GUYS from me.

It's a sad day :(

TpmG:
Hey all, we wanted to let you know why the Steamworks developer badge disappeared from community profiles.

Unfortunately, the badge was being used as leverage in a variety of unintended ways. Scammers and account hijackers tried to acquire the badge to appear more legitimate to innocent users, and bad actors in the development community tried to sell the badge to other accounts.

Of course, in your own game’s community hub your account is still indicated as a developer. Removing the profile badge has no impact on your presence in your community hub: your account is still highlighted as a developer, and your moderating/admin privileges are unaffected.

sorry

it's gone D:

ENP: Your right that it does, but not all devs join the Steamworks group. It's a good starting place though for sure.
