Some people are copying Greenlight pages by creating their own just like it and putting malware in the link for demo download.
Clicky

Wow. That sucks. Dunno much about the game or developers but must be frustrating to have something like this come up.

"Click to see the malware" is what one might understand, it's mindbending

Well I agree that they should do the $100 fine to have anyone post up concepts or something on Greenlight.

I mean making the accounts and trying to get them to scam people was (mostly) stopped by making people pay $5 just to make it a full account.

Still, people have to be quite new to PC, naive, or just plain dumb for downloading a "demo" of a Steam game from an external file hoster without stopping first to think…

Greenlight games don't have a Steam store page, and so no demo download from the official servers. There are real Greenlight games that have done this, but they have also paid $100, so let likelt to be scammers wanting to jack accounts.

It's not the official Steam server part I was referring to per se, but a demo download from MediaFire. Or any random file hoster. Even the oneman companies register a web site to host these things from there. Heck, if these scammers had half a brain, they would do that too. This is just so amateurish it really baffles me anyone falls for it.

Lots of games appear on Greenlight while already having playable DRM-free versions - all they need is to get access to Steam-store and offering free-demo allows them to get more people to like their game.

What if someone was to make a Malware Simulator 2015 and was just your computer getting malware, that would literally be the worst simulator game on Greenlight.

So they... gave Steam money via an online transaction to upload malware? That's literally just giving them an admission of guilt and a roadmap to the dude's house. Why would you do that??? "Please arrest me!"

No, they didn't, it's free to put up a concept.

People would have no issues with malwares "as most of the distributed ones among these pages are so common" if they stop depending on windows defender and get some REAL anti-Virus (Avast+Malware anti-bytes are the best combos besides they both have a free version).
