    The customers of this received the exact quality of project they decided to support. It’s not like this came out of the blue, there couldn’t have been any more red flags.

    But there will always be a large amount of the Steam audience that elects to flock to the latest offering of the trendy genre without any regard to quality or caution. It will happen again and again.

    Look at their track record of previous asset flips. I wonder that it they survived multiple years by just scamming people with fake trailers.

    Steam needs to just refund everyone who bought this scam and honestly I think, as much as I like Steam, really needs to address their approval process because there’s so much shovelware and scams that make it into their store.

      Steam will refund them probably. And I don’t think steam needs to do anything here, the reviews and refunds do a great job at calling out scams. But when you buy on day 1, ignore reviews or don’t wait for them, and don’t utilize the easy refund system, then yeah you’re going to get scammed regardless.
