Dna Dboor Review Manipulation? Part 2

I posted here before about possible review manipulation that originated from a strange Discord message. Going back, I looked at the reviews for the newest game Falafel Restaurant . Comparing the reviews, I saw that many of the positive reviews were made by the same people that positively reviewed the two other games (the "DNA Dboor" developer account included). I even saw one positive review a week old from an account so new that their community profile was not completed. Finally, looking at the groups for the reviewers, I discovered that all of them are in the same DNA Army Gaming group. These all seem like signs that point to review manipulation.

Huh, I snooped around a bit and here's a very curious explanation (coming from a friend of the dev as it seems?) why the developer in question has three similar games with few to no updates online.

Here's a screenshot (will auto-delete in a month, so save it to your HD if you want a backup of that); this was in the Factory Runner steam forum:

That... is very weird. Here's what 3D_DAD wrote:

im sorry guys but i couldn't figure out where is the problem of having a franchise on steam , which means having more than 1 game very similar to the others with some different idea .

so many devs do so , its not a scam its just for people who likes the idea of the game and would like to play more like it , and i can name so many devs who done this without being attacked from customers

about the updates : steam gives the customers 2 hours to refund the game , and updates are only for games which are in early access and promised a roadmap or updates , well in this game didnt release in early access , so you dont have the right to ask for updates

i dont really see where the problem is JUST REFUND IT

And of course, the reviews are at least dubious in nature.
