This pattern suggests a coordinated effort to mislead consumers and profit from low-quality asset flips and scams.

    • “They're all written in either Russian, broken English, or ChatGPT AI slop, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
