Puolalainen pelinkehittäjä Acram Digital ei ollut tyytyväinen peliensä Rails to Riches ja Eight-Minute Empire saamiin Steamin käyttäjäarvioihin. Asia päätettiin oikaista tuottamalla omia käyttäjäarvioita omista peleistä. Moinen kuitenkin paljastui, ja nyt koko firma sai kenkää Steamista.
Studion pomo Grzegorz Kubas on myöntänyt väärinteon antamassaan avoimessa kirjeessä. Steamin kannanoton asiaan voi lukea täältä.
"Dear Players,
You are right. I'm guilty. It came from my frustration of few bad, unfair reviews on Valve's Steam only. It was stupid action, not something planned. This is my individual, bad behavior, not the team, so I would like to blame me, not the devs. It's a lesson for the rest of my life and it will not happen again, ever. We have NEVER paid for any positive reviews. It was only my 6 fake accounts on Steam, done in amateur way, from the same computer, the same method of payment, the same IP. I was very frustrated. We have great developers, passionate in board games. They work very hard to deliver quality games. We listen to the players and we have implemented the features they asked for. We have sent the email to Valve regarding this issue and we are waiting for the answer.
Blame me, not the devs please. I'm very sorry,
/Grzegorz Kubas"
