A small solo developer managed to get a nice promotion for his game on Steam, and in turn was rewarded by being extorted by some absolute losers.

You know… I haven’t heard of this until now but I have seen a least one other small indie game on Steam with that same review. I wasn’t that interested anyways but it definitely could’ve been swaying early impressions of potential players. Scary
Indie game devs being put through the ringer man, it sucks!!!
This and then the Ai shit for brains de-compiling and cloning indie games to pump full of ads and shit to push out onto mobile.
what a sad time it is for people that make games and love games.
Sound like Goofy
What if he's an actual crypto miner and paid some punks to pretend they're extorting him?
Ezio Auditore has let himself go
I understand why the dev didn't reveal what political positions the extortionists supported, but I desperately want to know to confirm my own political beliefs.
I just realized how abusable Steam's review system is damn. They should remove being able to reward them, this is a little ridiculous
i don't know what life those punks have outside of this extortion racket, but only a minute hearing about this and i feel like the world would be better off without them.
Thanks for the heads up. Dev got one more sale and I've got one more game on my pile.
felorny
How stupid does they think people are? Do they think steam would really allow an actual cryptominer to be released in a game, Even if there was one released through update bullshit steam wouldve deleted the game page and contacted any actual victims
Bro pronounced it proj-enator LOL
They are Australian fyi
I miss greenlight option on steam, steam nowadays is filled with so much :poop: on shop page.
Great video as always, Markiplier
Wait it’s almost the 1000th video
1:40 mfer on the right thinks he's Ezio Auditore or some shit.
HAHAHAHAHA THE BANDANAS!! They're so laaaame
Ashamed to have people like that in the same country as me. 🤢 What disgusting and gross behaviour
Australia definitely has some very strong laws around this. I'd highly recommend it be reported to Australian authorities by everyone who wants to do so. It doesn't have to be the victim. They will take it seriously and will find the perps very fast.
God, those Crypto bro scammers always talk at a thousand miles an hour. A sure sign of a con man.
I like how people somehow spun this into more Valve glazing even though there's no confirmation that Valve has actually done anything to resolve the issue and Valve has no history of proactively doing anything to prevent this given how these sorts of things are common on Steam.
The dev should contact the AFP (Australian Federal Police) because those guys were definitely Australian.
LMAO the children trying to cover their faces to look cool
How pathetic
Define the level of low and petty. And yes – both Valve and feds should look into it.
Make doxxing great again.
yeah definitely Australian csgo skin scammers
The double twist, the game dev is in on it and this was all a publicity stunt for his game.
Funny how subpoenas work, if the dev went the legal route and the court subpoenaed Discord wonder how the mastermind would act lmao.
You made an entire video about bots review bombing steam games. Imagine what'll happen when you find out about what is going on in VALVe's own games where bots are either half or majority of the playerbase cough tf2 cough cs2
Bro. Look in the comments of virtually any social media platform, and 90% of them are bot accounts trying to sway public opinion one way or another. It's out of control.
not Blackmail, Extortion
“It’s not crime, it’s a robbery” ahh response
who will be faster: feds or steam strike team?
And then people starts playing the game in masses to support, but it turns out it was an actual crypto mining! And this whole thing was a big scam advert
Why censor their political request in the exposé video though? Surely there is no better way of discouraging others from doing the same than to punish whatever political ideology those clowns support.
If I had a dollar for every time the extortioners or harassers are kids, teens or adults with no sense of self-awareness or common sense thinking their actions won't lead to consequences.
"What happens to a child who isn't loved?"
"Mastermind", comes up with the dorkiest plot and then turns up on video-call with "guy who has his mom sponsor his fit", and "Extortionist in a sheet."
They think they look so cool too.
smh this video is mining cryptocurrency on my youtube
Why Steam did not take that review down? 😮
What were they trying to get them to say cause I was so lost
They need to go to prison.
Their plan is stupid anyway. You want the guy you just claimed put a cryptominer on your PC to endorse your politics? You slew the golden goose before it could lay any golden eggs, brother.
