Is this becoming a thing now? First that fake Underworld Ascendant Kickstarter and now this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...dungeon-from-the-windows-game-store-dev-warns
Sigman said the person who published Darkest Dungeon on the Windows Game Store was "scamming" the game by selling it illegally.
There are a number of warning signs on Darkest Dungeon's Windows Game Store page. One, it costs £2.59. Darkest Dungeon costs £14.99 on Steam. Two, it's a 2MB download, suggesting it could be some form of spyware. Three, the game's description is written in broken English.
"Darkest Dungeon is a Strategy game.Player will employee, train and control a team of heroes in Darkest Dungeon Game. They will journey through warrens, twisted forests, crypts and other strangling places and they will be confronted by monstrous creatures which are unimaginable with these there comes calamities like stress, disease and famine."
And four, the game is published by someone called Balaji Chowdary, not Red Hook Studios. This does not appear to be the first game Mr. Chowdary has published to the Windows Game Store illegally. His name is listed as the publisher of Lego Batman 3 Beyond Gotham, Watchmen: The End is Nigh and VMware Player.
