      *claiming to not know anything

      Another post above said they may have been faking reviews, if so, they would almost certainly play dumb when caught.

        If that other post is talking about the game I think they are, the people faking reviews were the publishing house, not the devs. The devs had been just as blindsided in that incident.

        The publishers of that game (and many other games they published) allegedly had a private group where they gave out free steam keys and required the redeemers to give bogus positive reviews in exchange for the free games. Which is a shame because the game was actually super fun and ran great.
