Games

Thanks for including the game title in your post title. I hate it when articles leave that kind of information out.

This should be an automatic delisting by Valve. They need to set a firm example on this shit, otherwise it'll never go away. Ban early, ban often.

Pasting the first section of the article because of the stupid anti-adblocker on Mobile:

• Shinobi Warfare's developer is rewarding players for positive reviews, violating Steam's terms of service agreement.
• The controversial practice was revealed by a Reddit user, leading to concerns about inauthentic reviews flooding the game.
• Despite reports to Steam support, Shinobi Warfare continues to face backlash for questionable tactics and content appropriation.

Shinobi Warfare, a 2D turn-based RPG multiplayer game, is being called out by Steam users after it was discovered that the developer has been rewarding players with in-game currency for leaving a positive review. The lucrative reward has led to the game receiving an 'overwhelmingly positive' review badge, but goes against the platform's terms of service agreement.

The discovery was made by Reddit user Glavurdan, who took to the Steam subreddit yesterday to reveal their findings. The post has multiple images of the questionable practice, with the most notable being on the Shinobi Warfare Discord server, where an admin on the server offered players 1,000 in-game gems to leave a positive review.

I'm slightly distracted by the Dragonball GT avatar... like... it looks like Baby Vegeta, but a ripped twink version or something? I'm so confused, and not in a sexual way. Is Twink Baby Vegeta in the game or something?

Edit: I guess he must be in the game considering the last part of the article saying they don't seem to care about copyright. Now I can't tell if the shady practices make me not want to play the game or the prospect of playing with Twink Baby Vegeta makes me want to try it...
