Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

663 Games is a verified publisher (Hongkong Plaiser Interactive) with significant past success, notably the mobile version of 'Gunfire Reborn' and titles like 'Realm of Ink'. However, the evaluation highlights critical red flags: credible reports of a mass delisting of their catalogue from Steam in 2024/2025 due to contract violations, which severely undermines their utility as a PC publisher. Additionally, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying asset value and mobile traction are real, the existential platform risk and unprofessional submission heavily penalize the score.
