Google description of Steam currently shows as "Fuck Epic Games Store"

You may have seen a very unusual message on Google today that describes Steam.

Here's what you don't see every day: the official description steam The message currently displayed on the Google search engine is "Fuck Epic Games Store". This is not a joke.

At the time of writing, typing "Steam store" on Google will return a link to the store in the first result (not an ad) and that weird message in its description below. PC Games N was the first to find the error, and when we tried it, we got the same results.

For some reason, you won't see this if you just type "Steam". When looking for terms related to the Epic Store, there didn't seem to be any counter-information.

The site description and the first few links on Google usually come from the site's code. So assuming that Google's bots didn't mix sources by mistake, the data might originate from Steam's own website.

Someone at Valve felt unusually weird this afternoon, or the site was broken to allow third parties to change metadata in this way. We have contacted Valve to comment.
