So I spotted this on another game store & thought it looked interesting.... but hadn't heard of it so I went to Steam to see the reviews.
I noticed that some of the positive reviews were posted by Steam accounts with low activity, few items in their accounts, few reviews & private profiles.
It kind of fit the bought positive reviews talked about in the media a while ago... such as http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-03-02-steam-user-reviews-can-be-bought-for-usd5-report
So I posted a question about if anyone agreed that the reviews seemed off & a moderator deleted the question.
So I then posted that I'd take that as a confirmation that some reviews were paid for (no links like the one above or similar) & the moderator came along & banned me from that forum.
Now I don't care about being banned from their shitty forum but it concerns me that they appear to be trying to deceive people about this product so decided to post here as well.
Can't link to Steam posts cause well.. they're deleted.
