We found out with pleasure that one of our consultant gave the name of our company to a star in a spatial conquest simulator: Galactic Civilization III, published by Stardock.

Galactic Civilization III is a new style of platform using API and security guidelines from the Steam solution. Steam provides a large amount of ready-to-use technologies to accelerate and secure video game development. Thus, Steam Guard allows for the activation of dual authentication on the platform and ensures a better level of security by sending a security code to each Steam user’s email inbox.

This platform’s players are choice targets, because they may have ships or rare precious objects or artifacts (in their game inventory), which can be resold for thousands of euros on the Internet.

The Steam Guard approach, although limited, allows for reducing the risk of identity theft within the platform of online games to some extent. However, by coupling the use of a Gmail mailbox with a Steam account, an additional level of security can be ensured. In fact, Google technology can send an SMS containing an authentication code to one of the services offered by Google during a user’s logon.
