Light Bearers

"Light Bearers" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a dead PvP game with the same name, in fact, the developers were so greedy they're charging a whopping $15 USD to unlock the full game through this advertisement. Really crappy, crappy, deceptive, crappy marketing. No wonder this died in a heap. Anyway it's a hide and seek game with bad graphics and no players and shady developers abusing Steam with misleading marketing practices. Is that ok? No it is not. Gamers, stand up for your rights. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise its own DLC in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos 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. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers (let's not kid ourselves, this was deliberate). 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. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
