  Looks like shovelware with 4 and 1 reviews respectively, not worth clogging up your library.

  If I wanted to get keyloggers onto people's PCs, this is how I'd do it.

    Is that a legitimate concern with Steam?

      There's no way that Steam could confirm that executables are safe that I can think of. Downloading random exes from Steam is no different than downloading random exes from the Internet.

        Steam runs automated tests like virus scanning, but if someone was careful enough about it, you’d mostly just have to hope that another user might notice and report a problem before you download.

        Valve do also try to identify developers fairly well, though, which should make it at least somewhat awkward for a bad actor to remain anonymous. Hopefully that’s a reasonable deterrent.

    I'm sure it's safe, however, I agree that this will just be a waste of your time. There are a million better games out there, don't waste your time with these 10th rate amateur hobby games.

      Yeah I don't think the keylogger aspect is necessarily likely, just another reason on top of it looking like pointless shovelware to stay away from these things, the same as you wouldn't install any random exe from the Internet.

    Valid concern. Also pretty exaggerated and highly unlikely.

    We’ve got nation states developing their own keyloggers, spyware etc. They target their deployment specifically (stuxnet, NotPetya) and despite their skill we still can detect those (sometimes it takes a few years).

    These are low popularity games that random people play. Nation states wouldn’t bother, the audience is a few people who download the game and no one who plays it. Not even on a work computer.

    If not nation states, any keylogger or malware is likely written by those with moderate skills. They invest a huge amount of time to make an unpopular game just so they can get a keylogger on, and we haven’t seen this happen (at scale) for two decades on steam?

    Technically possible but there’s a million easier ways to get malware on a few computers, and it’d be far better targeted.

      Probably not likely, though funnily enough a few hours after I mentioned the possibility I stumbled across this on Steam:

        Pretty nice idea for a game.

    For anyone interested in removing from Steam library:
    Open steam client
    Help > Steam Support
    Choose game you want to remove
    "I want to permanently remove this game from my account"

    Your feeling of shame is now gone, be proud of your library of un-played games you are proud of

      now I'm in two minds, do I want the biggest list possible, or a smaller list of quality unplayed games… I need a definitive cutoff or I'll end up with just 1 game (which is prob more than I need tbh)… or I'll spend weeks subjectively culling…. nah I think I'll just keep collecting. Whoever inherits my estate can do the culling.

    Completely baseless accusations there. Good on ya 👍

    For the more sensible, the developer has talked about his experience over here on Reddit. He wrote this game in Go a year ago, didn't get any takers on Steam, so has made it free and also completely open source, which should put your FUD to rest.

  I keep these games just in case they're later updated with Crysis / FarCry - esque graphics packs, and loaded with gigabytes, upon gigabytes of add-ons in free software updates. Maps, NPCs, community mods.
  Then later swiftly pump the base price up to $159.99 (before DLC) , and consistently hit the #1 leaderboards for active players.
  I'll remember I got it free, courtesy of OP - Hiphopopotamus. Thank you good sir, my stockings are filled.

  Cheers and thank you Hiphopopotamus - as always with your free steam posts. Taking the effort to post them.
