I wonder if steam considers this can evasion.
TBH, if it's free I don't care if the reviews are rigged so long as it's not to hide that it's a crypto miner or something. But when money is involved I care a lot.
I would just automatically assume theres something nefarious.
Reputable game devs don't end up in these situations to begin with, and I'd rather miss on a shitty clone game than end up running a password harvester.
I think one of the games just re-released and put ":resurected" at the end. I'm not sure how this fairs in the steam eula, but I suppose it's fine as long as the publisher isnt involved.
And just to be clear, the develoers are innocent, only the publisher seems to have done manipulation.
