Blocky Snake

Платные уровни за тупо змейку

Начало было неплохое, но после 3-х уровней выскакивает окошко "купить игру за приблизительно 140 рублей". Я бы понял если бы было здесь это как длс, но выставлять игру под видом бесплатное, а за продолжение требовать оплату, это как минимум нагло...

Blocky Snake is not strictly a game. It's an advertisement/demo for a Unity based mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cash grab. It's a common mistake when unfamiliar with Steam to launch demos/advertisements as full games on Steam instead of tagging them correctly as demos. Here's the instructions for putting a demo up on Steam, to demonstrate that there is a correct process for this, which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos This garbage is just the old Snake/Tron lightcycle game from the 1980's, but with 3D/iso looking minimalist low poly art. It's unclear if this is a direct asset flip, but it has the same qualities as an asset flip scam. While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. At the end of the day, I can only recommend full, correctly published games to gamers. In this case this seems to be a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. The game isn't free, you can play a little then the developer slaps you with a demand for in-game purchases to keep playing. The developer is trying to treat PC gamers like mobile app peasants. This is utterly unacceptable. Because this is just an advertisement, because it's a mobile app, because of the apparent deliberate attempt to mislead gamers, and because of the other problems with it, I can't recommend it.
