PLATI NALOG: Favorite Russian Game is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", CSM/W.T.B., took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/clicker-game-example-33906]Clicker Game Example[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Some Packs Team, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work.
It gets worse... "Clicker Game Example" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from CSM/W.T.B.:

[*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/760560]Happy New Year Clicker[/url]", also flipped by W.T.B./CSM
[*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/743640]Achievement Clicker[/url]", asset flipped by OfficialAndy
[*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/880550]How To Be Best Russian Game Developer[/url]", also flipped by W.T.B./CSM

[*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/824190]Achievement Clicker 2019[/url]", asset flipped by OfficialAndy

Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i]
CSM/W.T.B. has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:

The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Clicker Game Example" is just a points-accumulation clicker/mobile app screen tapper demo, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy+paste of it can't be recommended.
Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off.
Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers.
[quote][url=https://mmofallout.com/valve-bans-titles-for-review-manipulation/]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote]
This game features a large number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this review manipulation.
Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from CSM/W.T.B.
