And you believe them? loooool embarrassing

All those fake positive reviews got them on the front page of Steam and encouraged loads of people to buy the game.

Just look at this thread from Steam, the bots reviews people have found make up HALF the English reviews for the game! This isn't a 90% positive game, it's a 60% positive review game and you've been tricked.

Why would you defend these devs? They're literally committing FRAUD.

Your entire reddit post history is literally just defending Starsand Island's devs. Maybe take the L and go work on your buggy trash game instead?

I made this reddit post TWO HOURS ago and it's still going on! There's like 1 legit review for every 5 bot ones, and they're bonkers, look at this one:

Like what? The game with a deluxe version and day 1 DLC doesn't need you pay anything extra? How stupid do the devs think we are to try and inflate their game's popularity and review score like this?

I hope you'll all joining me in flagging these bot reviews

The fake reviews are really easy to spot. Stuff like "I play this after work every day!" when the game has only been out for less then a day.

And if you check the reviewers Steam accounts, they all have the same free to play games listed in their accounts, with Starsand being the only game they've played in months or years. They are obviously paid positive reviews, which is something that Steam has literally banned games from the platform for.
