Video Description

On February 29th, six different games were renamed by a scammer who spoofed their store pages to appear like popular game titles such as HELLDIVERS 2 and Palworld. Many are confused why this happened when the developer couldn't profit off of it from Steam, and the reason is because they probably never intended to do so in the first place. Regardless, immediately following this ordeal, 800 games were removed from Steam. Here's my take on what happened. ▶ FOLLOW Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/fireb0rn Stream VODs: https://youtube.com/@fireb0rnVODs Discord: https://discord.gg/S6cJBeN Twitter: https://twitter.com/fireb0rn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fireb0rngg/ ▶ MUSIC Max Anson - Where Does It End Hysics - Shell-Shocked Dream Cave - Unknown Phenomenon Broad Sky - Conversion William Claeson - Last Cassette All music provided courtesy of Epidemic Sound. ▶ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:51 The Scam 3:53 The Morning After 6:35 Grey Market Sites 8:46 Games Removed From Store 9:44 Conclusion 10:30 Pantheon of God Gamers
