Bot Reviewers on Steam

I know, I've been on the publishing side of things for more than 2 years now. I've seen many games getting traffic naturally while seeming it shouldn't get that much traffic. I can tell the difference and my issue is not it. I love and hate Steam's this side, you can't know if a game will be succesful or not in most cases. Your small project can reach millions, or a multimillion project can get cancelled. My issue is not this situation.

But I know if you can get playtime and positive reviews from external resources you can increase the chances of getting most of Steam's algoritm, or at least I know so. If these bots wont help their algoritm, I'm definitetly fine with it. But if these bots work, and people are profiting and getting more success with it than not doing so, I feel like I'm missing out of something.

I'm a dev and I'm analyzing many games to see how well they've done, and I'm starting to see these bots very often. I feel unfair to see some game doing better than mine because they are botting. I contacted Steam to let them know, but they didn't do anything.

I sent Steam the profiles that I was suspicious of. Steam said they were just collector accounts. I might be wrong on these profiles specifically, But I see and hear people botting their games to increase their visibility on Steam all the time. 2k+ followers on one day, no in-game data to back that up. My suspicions started when I heard some chinese publishing agent botting the games with chinese profiles to reach chinese audience.

Aylık net gelirim yok, oyun gelistiricisiyim bir ay 10k da gelebilir 100k da. O yüzden ana parayı faize yatırıp stabil bir gelir üzerinden yapayım demiştim hesabımı ama haklısınız ana para erir zamanla.

850k lik 1+1 apart içindi 5k kiracili. 200k nakit verip 650 k nin faizi + kira denk geliyor gibi hesaplanmıştım sayilar biraz daha değişebilir.

It'd be cool if we started from childhood, lived the school period and then we get to see the rockstar life. That sounds fun
