from what i've heard, the scam wasn't intended to trick random people into buying fake games

the actual scam was switching their games to something like Helldivers 2 or Palworld, generating a poo poo ton of CD keys for free and selling them to gray market key reselling sites like g2a

Just to make sure I understand this right, the free CD Keys would be for their fake games, with the hope that they could sell these to the resellers while the changed names were still active on Steam and a presumed lack of due diligence would see the resellers buy them without checking the details first?

Anyone using those grey market key resellers deserves getting scammed, and if they get a bag from the resellers themselves in advance, then good hustle, I guess. Short term gain in exchange for making their existing business name radioactive.

It's not like it's a confusing issue anymore as to who is and is not legitimate.

i got resident evil 7, its spooky and so far seems to be mainly a (poor) stealth game? this is not what i was expecting after RE4+ and from the gameplay i saw of RE village, which was a shooting gallery of enemies in a town square very similar to the re4 scene. ive only played about 100 minutes so far but does it turn into something different than what ive seen so far?

Would love to hear people's opinions on these!

Spiritfall looks kinda fun, but I don't see shield and grab. If you don't have those and your hit animations suck, what part were you inspired by? Rivals of Aether, I got a copy of that because they claimed the same thing, they were inspired by platform fighters. More like Wastes of Aefort.

Heads up that this game uses obnoxiously bad AI voice acting at least throughout the tutorial (I don't know if it continues past that). Set the voices slider to 0 before you start playing, or maybe just don't buy it until/unless they patch it out.

Steam has a policy requiring you to disclose AI usage, AFAIK, and it looks like they've broken it.

e: at least Alpha Hole Prison is still up and I can get it for just €17.99
