SteamDB is a site that tracks various bits of public information provided by Steam itself, from player counts to regional pricing. It is not a platform that sells or distributes games, but SteamDB has now come under fire from Sega because of the mistaken belief that it's illegally provided access to Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
According to SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, Sega's "lawyers are trying to take down Yakuza: Like a Dragon's SteamDB page claiming that we distribute the game. I took the page down because they did not reply to the first abuse report and sent a new one to our hoster." Djundik says that SteamDB gets DMCA takedown requests with some regularity, but those issues tend to be "quickly" resolved. "Sega on the other hand just ignored any replies."
If you head over to the SteamDB page for Yakuza: Like a Dragon, it now simply says "this page was taken down because Sega is claiming we distribute their game here (we don't)." It's a bizarrely specific target for Sega, as other Yakuza games, including ports released more recently than Like a Dragon, are unaffected, as are all other titles that Sega has published on Steam.
