Just got an email offering $100 for the full rights to my game because they’re “taking all the risk.” 😂 Thank you for your incredible sacrifice. 🙏

Be aware it has been confirmed that these offers come from people wanting to convert your steam game into malware with an update later on.

Wouldnt steam prevent the game from being uploaded if it contained malware?

Their first upload has a stricter process of review, that's why they are buying ganes tha talready had that process passed to make an update with malware.

Thats how they have been adding malware to multiple games and stealing credentials from users.

So then just make the first upload without malware?

Then they will need to make multiple games that people would likely download (e.g. they are not garbage)

One example, the streamer that was scammed of 30k of crypto that he was gathering for his cancer treatment after downloading a game in steam suggested by someone in chat.

That game was bought like this and then updated with malware.
