Overpriced games with manipulated reviews. Potential assets flips but can't confirm.

please go report. tired of this bullshit.

This is ridiculous. I reported every single game from both bundles:
https://steamhost.cn/bundle/33699/Jule_2023_mix_100/
https://steamhost.cn/bundle/33663/Jule_2023_mix_65/
Thanks for all the reports Shattered mind, we do appreciate it!

Developers abandoned their first game (see their justification here) but yet released a new one, zero explanation yet.

First game that was abandoned: https://steamhost.cn/app/1268900/Nearly_Dead/

New game:
https://steamhost.cn/app/1901810/Nearly_Dead__Live_and_Let_Die/

Games appear to be assets flip and priced super expensive: https://steamhost.cn/search/?publisher=MSI+Digital+Games
EDIT: two different bundles for the same games?!?
https://steamhost.cn/bundle/27471/MSI_Digital_Games/
https://steamhost.cn/bundle/27472/Special_MSI_Digital_Games/

https://steamhost.cn/bundle/8303/Mini_Island_Challenge_All_Package/

The same game being published over and over apparently.

It looks some of the reviews were manipulated, same formatting and wording, not to mention that game appear to be a non-sense mess of assets flip:

Some of the reviews:

First game is an asset flip, as per the review by Sentinels of the Store and the second game appear to use the same assets. Both games happen to have the same exact name as well.

https://steamhost.cn/app/1887200/Mechaguard/
https://steamhost.cn/app/1879290/Sould_Dub/

What's up with the prices of those two games which appear to be assets flips anyway?

Heya!

Yes, apologies for the lack of curator updates. Like Ratchet mentioned, we're both incredibly busy with our jobs on a day-to-day basis so time we get to work on the group is becoming limited, but we still try and update it as and when we can. There's a big backlog I'll have to get through and I'll get to them when I can.

All good. I fully understand you guys have your personal obligations, at least you are active when you get a chance.

We actually have updated it since, just earlier this month in fact, but the games we added got banned from Steam and as per our process, we remove any games that have that happen to them to free up slots on the curator for future games, so we have in fact been active on the curator just this very month, we just retroactively removed some of the banned titles which just so happened to be a wave of titles we added.

Ok, it makes sense.

While I'm also aware your question was posed about the curator, I have made an announcement just this month as well, and like Ratchet said, we are active in our Discord server, so it is still very much alive and our community discussion boards have also been active.

I saw the announcement but maybe I didn't pay too much attention to be honest, anyway, good to have you around and I will be joining the Discord as well.

Even if a time comes the group doesn't get updated anymore, I'd still recommend following the page as all of our previous asset flip and other tags will remain on store pages while you're casually browsing.

Noted.

I'd probably say the best method of helping us would be if you have any games you want tagged to put them in the pinned Steam Game Sharing thread as this keeps all the links and games in one single place for us to easily add to the curator when we can get the time to do it.

Many thanks!

I will keep doing that, not that I haven't done a lot but at least it's good to know it helps.

Thanks to both of your for the quick reply, glad to know the group and the related activities are still on your radar, which was a bit the worry here. Keep up the good work!
