Steam appears to flag users’ profile links as suspicious, displaying the ‘WARNING: SUSPICIOUS URL:’ error message and automatically removing the Twitch profile link. As a result, players cannot share their profile links and lose potential stream views. Gamers also face challenges in connecting their Steam accounts with Twitch.
This issue has raised concerns as other users can advertise their profile links in their bio and reels without any issues. Some even speculate that Steam might have made changes to its policies. Players are urging developers to fix this bug as soon as possible.
