Developers of several games on Steam had changed the name of their games to Helldivers 2, completely altering their Steam pages, including the developer and publisher tags.
And Helldivers 2 was not alone in being targeted by this scam.
Palworld, Last Epoch and Escape from Tarkov were also impersonated, with the same strategy employed, and each Steam page for the fakes looking largely legit to a casual observer.
So the first result on Google for "Escape from Tarkov Steam" is a scam.
SoleOnBoard Studio, meanwhile, has gone by albobs and Bside Studio, and was responsible for Palworld and Helldivers 2 fakes.
Once upon a time Valve was heavily criticised for its draconian approach to letting games appear on Steam.
Asset flips, games that simply do not function—they're all given a home on Steam. »
