Reporting and alerting gamers to these fake reviews and bad actors is important. It helps to make Steam better for everyone.

As we saw from Atomic Fabrik and over 200 fake games being banned, Valve do take action but they must do so carefully. They can't allow "friendly fire", which is to say punishing the wrong developer just because they were adjacent to this activity.

We know from when Sentinels infiltrated Obzor that the reviewers are instructed to write genuine red herring reviews on genuine products to make it difficult to isolate the accounts. If Valve were to ban every game that "Moyano" or "Charmer" reviewed, it would hit a number of legitimate games, and that wouldn't be fair.

As for the asset flip nature of the game, it is what I refer to in my own reviews as a "Digital Homicide" style asset flip. Not a 1:1 copy + paste of a single asset pack, but a selection of store assets arranged randomly to make a minimum viable product for sale.

It's interesting to see how people who want to kind of improve the community and the store as a whole are completely deluded to write with absolute certainty that my game is an Asset Flip https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198030784015/recommended/577740/ when I myself made all the models in the game (except for a few default ones like bushes and rocks) and we're also not russians. Calling us “Fake Game”, the “developer", russians, low quality, every sentence can be parsed, but there's no sense in it, because it's all designed to trash on from the start. I don't mind the negative review itself, I don't like the fact that half of what is written is passed off as absolutely true but is in fact pure lies and most are verified with at least 2 minutes of time. And I haven't even heard a single word about the gameplay of the game itself besides general insults and your account doesn't even have single achievement from the game so it's hard for me to tell how much you've played. Even if you think the game sucks and and that we're a fake, we still worked on it for half a year and it was our first game that gave us experience for the future

SIH started adding games to your wishlist and subscribing to game news on its own

Some of my friends have this game on their wishlist out of nowhere.

As one review wrote for the extension:

Convenient extension but scummy behaviour from its devs prevents me from recommending it. The Steam API access given to the extension is been used maliciously by the devs to promote games by following and wishlisting said games without even notifying the user.
I just found out about it when I was confused with a wish listed game (that I didn't remember adding) on my steam activity and came across this steam community post:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/2879560/discussions/0/4328601806881443463/?insideModal=1#c4328601806882486145

Their terms of service includes a sentence saying: "Provide users with recommendations for games on the Steam platform and add them to the “wish list”, solely based on the user's interests and/or games already added to the “wish list”."
Basically another case of eula roofing. Avoid this malware of an extension at all cost.

This of course has been written about for a long time but they only started using it like a couple weeks ago for evil deeds:

The developers themselves wrote about it and threaten those who leave reviews in google chrome

If you have any information that can confirm that our extension is involved in fraudulent activities, please provide us with this information to the official mail of the extension, otherwise, we will consider this comment as slander against the company, damaging our business reputation.

All reviews and their threats can be found on the extension page in the chrome store. Also there are reviews about the expansion buying random cheap stuff for an expensive price

The funny thing is that they're promoting a game that's 4 years old and it's only now that they're releasing a free prologue and boost it through connections with SIH.

Honestly, I didn't know where to post, so I thought I'd post here to increase awareness.

No problem, I hope this saves someone nerves and money
