ASU Global

As of March 16 2023 they still dont appear to have fixed the log in issue. It went thru updating with all the new patches and info but when login is clicked and you choose a login option, you are prompted to close the browser window and return to game. Once returned to the game screen the only thing you see is a small black box inside of the game window that says "cancel". I waited 10 minutes but no change. Closed the game and re launched and went thru the login process again. Still no change. The game looks as if it would be a decent one but obviously they havent finished making it yet and fixing all the bugs. Maybe sometime in the future? idk.

[quote]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app[/quote] ASU Global is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. There's only a superficial "game" here. Often with mobile app cash shop scamware, the veneer of a game at least looks mildly compelling, this one looks more like a Unity Asset Flip. When will scammers learn their scams won't work if the skin they slap over their mobile phone cash shop looks like garbage? There's barely any RPG game here at all, anyway. It's just a veneer wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop.

When will scammers learn their scams won't work if the skin they slap over their mobile phone cash shop looks like garbage? There's barely any RPG game here at all, anyway. The true purpose of this mobile app is to get you to hand your credit card details to the greedy mobile devs so you can buy stuff in the nasty cash shop... it's a mobile app cash harvester, and has no place in your game library. Putting toxic mobile app monetisation aside... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I don't think you did either... this kind of mobile app has no place in your Steam library. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
