Ele Rampage is another asset flip from Lucien. This one has a bunch of stock assets as you run an asset flipped elephant around a city killing people and smashing cars.
The first thing this does is run your GPU(s) up to 100%, so either this is the most badly optimised asset flip ever made, or it's a crypto miner. Who knows? The best approach is to never find out, and avoid this trash like the plague.

The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says:
[quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote]
The developer attempts to blame the users for the poor technical implementation of their asset flip, or to distract attention from the discussion of the not-meritless possibility that it may indeed be a crypto miner.
The developer would like to make sure gamers know that they don't think a 2080ti is sufficiently powerful enough to run their crap asset flip from 2021.
Blaming the end user for technical incompetence on behalf of developers is a hallmark sign of failure, both in execution as well as integrity. This profound display from the developer highlights something that gamers must be aware of, that developers do not always act with integrity.
While reviews are about games, and not developers, no matter how unethical or incompetent they may be, the response here, to blame the end user, seems very much like an attempt to divert attention from the problem. This demonstration of lack of integrity from the developer adds more fuel to the suggestion (which is certainly not without merit) from other reviewers and symptoms from the game that this "free" product may well be crypto mining or abusing the end user system for other anti-consumer goals.
The developers response serves only to raise further concern and should be taken as a tacit warning to gamers that they should avoid this asset flip at all costs.
