It’s not odd to hear stories from diversion developers and critics of people posing as YouTubers, reviewers, or other outlets to get giveaway diversion keys from Steam developers. This one, however, takes a cake, with a side of coffee.
Jacob Janerka, developer of surreal journey diversion Paradigm, claims in a extensive Imgur post that someone acted as a owners of a illusory game-loving coffee shop, clearly for a solitary purpose of squeezing a few gangling diversion keys out of developers. They went all out, apparently observant in an email to Janerka that their emporium authorised people to answer video diversion trivia for coffee discounts and games. Thus, they indispensable some keys.
Janerka, however, was suspicious. “Why,” he asked, “is all in English when your business is formed in Ukraine?” He did some sleuthing and detected that a residence this “coffee emporium owner” gave him led to a tract of mud in a center of nowhere, and while a coffee emporium called “Boroda Drink” does exist in a opposite partial of Ukraine, it’s in no approach video-game-themed. The above photos of employees and a shop, as it turns out, are from a genuine Boroda Drink’s amicable media page.
Janerka says that a ostensible scammer has given deleted their Twitter comment and has not replied to his follow-ups.
