A web3 free-to-play survival game found to be a front for installing malware on your PC has finally been removed from Steam

The free-to-play web3 game PirateFi attracted over 7,000 players upon its launch on Steam but was swiftly taken down due to concerns over "malicious files." Valve warned players that their systems might be at risk after downloading the game. Users reported suspected malware in the developer's uploads, and initial mixed reviews included positive comments from accounts with minimal gameplay experience, raising doubts about their authenticity. Negative feedback followed from newly created accounts, with allegations of data theft and unauthorized spending from Steam wallets. A Telegram account reportedly offered individuals a chance to moderate the game, suggesting an effort to inflate player numbers. Despite claims of a large player base, SteamDB analytics indicated that the game's peak concurrent players never exceeded five, with estimates of downloads ranging from 800 to 1,500.
