I bought this game ages ago and I was checking it out of curiosity to see what updates were being done and surprisingly they were still working on it and adding stuff. However it looks like a lot of devs are exploiting the fuck out of the steam stats and Valve are not bothering to clamp down on this behaviour at all because all they want to do is collect their share of the sales.
Doesn't matter if you buy a game and it's a completely fucking dead project that got spoofed by fake reviews, nope, not getting your money back on that one. We really are just scratching the surface with the level of scammy behaviour going on in the games industry. I think it's entirely possible with how bad things are we're going to see game devs going to jail for shit at some point. They are that corrupt and that's why they don't want autists who keep sleuthing around their business better than any journalists.
Steam is an exploit ridden piece of shit software.
If that's true, we need more awareness of this situation. Find more evidence for the case, archive everything, and present it.
Thankfully it's happening organically, sweet baby inc. and keeping an eye out for the contracted writers is just the beginning.
Yeah. I think that Pokemon GO might also have taken a hit when it was discovered that another one of those consultancy firms was behind the recent change to models.
