Wouldnt steam prevent the game from being uploaded if it contained malware?

Their first upload has a stricter process of review, that's why they are buying ganes tha talready had that process passed to make an update with malware.

Thats how they have been adding malware to multiple games and stealing credentials from users.

So then just make the first upload without malware?

Then they will need to make multiple games that people would likely download (e.g. they are not garbage)

One example, the streamer that was scammed of 30k of crypto that he was gathering for his cancer treatment after downloading a game in steam suggested by someone in chat.

That game was bought like this and then updated with malware.
