Fidget Spinner Simulator Fake Awards
Not sure how against the rules this is, but Fidget Spinner Simulator has 5 awards on their store page, all clearly fake, and the text is so obscured you can't even read them to see if they're satirical or not. Most people will know it's BS, but still...this is fraudulent information and may actually mislead very naive buyers. Is this not something that Valve takes action against?

They're on the web as well in full glory. Here's a high-res version:

The awards are:

* Best Figit Spinner Simulator
* Game of the Year Pepe Approves
* The Most Lit Game of the Year
* Stay Lit Fam Award
* Top Seller of the Month Award

Apparently some lame attempt at humor.

Next to its upcoming very money laundering-y 50-dollar no-content DLC and with its notoriously offensive developer that has like half a dozen companies running on Steam to hide his previous "work", I think fake rewards are just the small cherry on top.
But hey, he paid the 100-dollar Direct fee, so Valve is okay with it. As long as we somehow cannot make this go public enough. Apparently, a Jim Sterling video was not enough.

Even as a joke, how can one possibly call this game the best fidget spinner simulator in a world where at least two fidget spinner dating sims exist??

In all seriousness, though, I think this particular case might fall under stupidity rather than malice. The award names are obviously fake, and right-clicking the image and opening it in a new tab shows it at full size, it's not hidden under a different file name or anything. It's plausible the dev didn't realize the image would be too small for the joke to come across and just never bothered to check. That said, I still flagged it, because even a genuine mistake ought to be fixed, and also fuck these games.

Considering everything we know about this developer, I'd have to disagree.

Compiled all of my findings here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/RemGC/discussions/9/617328415062389453/?ctp=128#c1471967615865416298

-Sells asset flipped games
-Multiple aliases for selling games
-$50 cosmetic DLC for a $1 game
Scam artist through and through.
