This is not a trojan. Wacatac behavior is to copy or create files, then allow malicious people to take control of your system. Copying or creating files is a behavior of this copy of the game, given it's one big executable. The game has to unpack some files in order to work. That's what is getting flagged.

I've personally dealt with Microsoft when it comes to Trojans, and it's not a pleasant experience. One of the games I work with was flagged for carrying Doplik virus. After thorough investigation we found that the nwjs version used in the game was no longer being supported and they flagged it as Trojan intentionally to force developers to upgrade. While "newer is always better", in this case it broke backwards compatibility with Windows 7/8 as the newer nwjs did not support older OSes.

Long story short, MS didn't budge and a lot of players lost access to the game. It's rarely a "simple" choice with detection these days. Even false positives are being engineered on purpose. As a dev the choice is to eat the AV flags and have average joe panic or make changes that aren't exactly ideal.

PS: You spending money on the game doesn't really give you an edge in this conversation.
