lol was checking the "Hentai" tag on Steam, it's full of super cheap (like less than $2-3) games but with actually good art (not sure about "gameplay", since mostly seems match-3). At such low prices even selling thousands you couldn't cover dev costs even in cheap countries

Some will always manage to stay under the radar, and some just start another "company" with the same practices, but sure, some of them get removed.

A drop in the bucket get removed. Valve lets them go on for a long time before removing.

I reported a publisher that was blatantly plagiarizing with multiple games and they weren't removed for like a year. I reported an AO game that didn't list themselves as AO and didn't require age verification (which I ended up buying). It still isn't listed as AO.

You could tell the publisher was plagiarizing because they did a ALT+F replace of names so the nicknames were still there. Let us not even talk about the art used without permission or the pirated software they used to 'make' the games.
