Welcome back, gamers! Today, we're diving deeper into the murky waters of Steam's fake games epidemic, continuing the trailblazing investigation started by Upper Echelon in his viral video, "The 'Unturned' Gaming Mystery" Watch Here. 🚨    • The "Unturned" Gaming Mystery  

This eye-opening follow-up exposes the deceitful tactics behind many fake games plaguing Steam, such as Banana, Cucumber, Egg, Cats, Tapple, and Melon (the last two popped up after the original video release). These games aren't just poorly made; they're part of a larger scheme that's manipulating the system for profit via the Steam marketplace.

That would not be the problem itself (as long as you don't engage with them on Marketplace), but the latest two games are already trying to reproduce human-like behavior so in a moment there will be no way to tell apart bot-ridden games that fake their player base. This is our one and only opportunity to catch them while they are not improved beyond any detection system.
