Without Pain

Without Pain is an asset flip from the Russian asset flip scammers, LTZInc/NL Studio/KazakovStudios/HandMade Games (it's unclear why they try to disguise their identity by shuffling Steam developer accounts, but the stench of a Russian asset flipper is pervasive). Deviating from their usual modus operandi of pushing Raycaster Game Maker asset flips, they've decided to asset flip a 2D top down shooter template from the craptastic 001 Game Creator mobile app game construction kit, with sprites ripped off from someone else. Taking this seriously as a game, it's a dumpster fire, with someone else's 2D retro pixel "art", locked resolution, horrible wave survival gameplay... it's trash. [quote][url=https://mmofallout.com/valve-bans-titles-for-review-manipulation/]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote] This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all short 2-3 line reviews written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, have 4 hours gameplay (to meet the Steam minimum), and the accounts are used consistently to write the same fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this review manipulation. If you're not sure this is an asset flip, check out another game by the same people: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1881670/MARY/]MARY[/url]. It's exactly the same game with exactly the same fake/paid reviews! LTZInc/NLStudio/Kazakov/whoever keep using the same fake review service in their review manipulation. The trail is clear to see.
