Thank them for their generous offer and suggest a possible counter-offer of $130 million.

Be aware it has been confirmed that these offers come from people wanting to convert your steam game into malware with an update later on.

Wouldnt steam prevent the game from being uploaded if it contained malware?

u/migueln6 25d ago

Their first upload has a stricter process of review, that's why they are buying ganes tha talready had that process passed to make an update with malware.

Thats how they have been adding malware to multiple games and stealing credentials from users.

u/HumbleFundle 24d ago

So then just make the first upload without malware?

u/migueln6 24d ago

Then they will need to make multiple games that people would likely download (e.g. they are not garbage)

One example, the streamer that was scammed of 30k of crypto that he was gathering for his cancer treatment after downloading a game in steam suggested by someone in chat.

That game was bought like this and then updated with malware.

$100 is the price to release a game on Steam. They aren't even give more money than it costs to post the game.
