Steam discovered one of its game had a background mining software in it!

This is very pathetic. Games were one of the unique ways that the people could take a break and earn at the same time. And this got tainted to due to some people's greed. This scammers need to be restrained before things go way out of hand. Please people, be careful before investing in anything in the market now.

Games were a very fun and unique way to earn crypto. And the corrupted minds of the people have found their ways into making this a way to scam people too. This is truly pathetic. We need to be more on alert from now on.

The level of scams are getting way put of control. People are even trying to scam the users through games. this is such a low act. I hope this will be stopped soon before things go out of control.

There wouldn't be so much fuss about the game if they had just mentioned it in their description that it is going to mine through the users. But then again it would have made the users abandon it sooner or later. Looks like it is best for everyone now that steam has removed the game from their platform.

Icon ICO is from South Korea. They have really strong team combined of Korean crypto experts and advisors like Don Tapscott and Eddy Travia. Currently their tokens are listed at $0.78 on Binance. But this is due to the current market situation. Hopefully, they can prove to be profitable in the future.

There has been previous record of such incidents happening at steam. Games like Abstractism mined coins through the users without their knowledge and gained profit from it. But, I think steam is at fault here as they should have been the one to make sure no such thing happens from there end. Hopefully, they will be more careful before putting up game on their store.

They're using those mining software scripts everywhere... It's quite disturbing that somebody is using your GPU power without you knowing' they're basically making a profit off of you and you get nothing in return, except hell of an electrical bill! This will bring more regulation into place, which eventually will not be bad for the market but will make things harder and harder for crypto startups with more requirements coming their way.

You mean that the game of steam is actually digging XMR? Although there is fraud, I think the person who created the software is really a genius. If this method is applied reasonably, it is definitely a huge wealth.

For the creator? Hell, yeh! lol Wouldn't be illegal if you actually knew you were mining something for somebody else, but by hiding it from people, you just make it into a crime

I think that is like scam because you steal the power of the computer without publicly declaring it. But such games can't stay on those platforms.
