Soo 2 days ago, a member of our forum leaked the latest version of this game. Putting it extremely lightly, the developer did not like this. So he has decided to use his account and his other alt accounts to mass report the leak, falsely claiming
it was a virus.
He did this hoping two things: 1) moderators are morons 2) they would actually think its a virus & agree to delete it
Obviously, we knew immediately that the file was clean and the dev was behind the reports & accounts. IP check confirmed all the users in the screenshot are the developer's alts. So we just rejected the report
and moved on.
Actually, we thought to ourselves "if the dev is silly enough to do something dumb like this, maybe he has been up to some other equally dumb shenanigans". Lo and behold, we find out that a bunch of the positive reviews on both threads are actually made by the devs' alts.
We then confronted the developer and he claimed that apparently all the users that were posting positive reviews are
actually people in his house. He didn't handle this confrontation very well and decide to spam a bunch of PMs, tickets, and reports saying silly things.
About 98% of the devs we confront about alt reviews just try their best to resolve the matter privately as its kinda an embarassing thing to get caught doing. But some handle it very poorly - like this guy. Sad!
