热血大唐

[quote][b]Warning: Microtransaction infested browser game![/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] 热血大唐 is one of thousands of nasty browser games infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free, and it's not really a PC game... this is a glorified webpage. There's only a superficial "game" here. Yes, this is yet another Chinese cash shop with a Three Kingdoms era skin wrapped around it like something out of Silence of the Lambs. It's a pointless browser game shoved in an Electron container after making sure the cash shop still works on Steam. So really, this webpage is just a veneer wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app-like real money transaction cash shop. Thus, the true purpose of this webpage is to get you to hand your credit card details to greedy web developers so you can buy stuff in the nasty cash shop... it shouldn't be considered a real game because it's a RMT cash harvester, and has no place in your game library. Putting that toxic mobile app tier monetisation aside... this is a webpage. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could browse the web, and I don't think you did either... Steam isn't here to compete with Firefox and Chrome. The presence of this game on Steam is just a desperate attempt from a shady web developer to try scam a wider audience, an audience you certainly should not be part of. There's no English translation for the this, but that's okay. The language of bad products is universal. As mentioned, this isn't really free as the game is infested with mobile app store like microtransactions. This is a consumer hostile model that we don't need to see on PC. It's deceptively priced to gouge gamers, and that's a reason in itself to avoid this. It's important to note that, despite this being such a low quality product, there's a number of positive reviews that all appeared immediately after the game launched, from suspiciously inactive Steam accounts that have reviewed almost no other games apart from this. Take the review score of this game with a grain of salt. 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.
