Steam users allege an unassuming, free-to-play 2D platformer named BlockBlasters is actually malware in disguise, left to flourish like a fungus on the digital storefront for nearly a month before Valve finally removed it. Nonetheless, BlockBlasters apparently had enough time to drain over $150,000 in cryptocurrency from people who downloaded it.
This is according to claims by crypto investment firm Paradigm advisor ZachXBT, which is known online for recreationally investigating what they determine are notable cryptocurrency scams. The anonymous detective addresses Steam in a September 21 post on Twitter, writing, "You clowns allow malware on your platform that has resulted in $150K+ stolen from victims (fake game has been available to download for more than a month)."
