I've reached out to Valve to ask if there is any human oversight given to new games before they are given a Steam page but it did not respond in time to publish this story. Last year, Valve sparked controversy when it decided to take a hands-off approach to the Steam store (opens in new tab), allowing anything (including pornographic content) unless it was illegal or "trolling." By advertising using Battlefield 1942's screenshots and trailers, Tank Battlegrounds is obviously illegal, but it's not clear how it was able to get on Steam or what theoretical buyers will be purchasing and downloading come May 30 when it releases.
#Battlefield 1942 download completo rip free
Tank Battlegrounds is Free Partner's only game, and one of the developers, who posted a few threads in Tank Battleground's Steam Forums, has no Steam activity (opens in new tab) despite being a year old.īut that Tank Battlegrounds is able to have a Steam page in the first place is troubling. It's supposedly developed by a Chinese studio that goes by "自由合伙人", which loosely translates to Free Partner. But why this kind of thing is even on Steam in the first place?įirst discovered earlier today by some sleuths over on the Steam subreddit (opens in new tab), Tank Battlegrounds popped up on the Steam store three days ago and is due for release on May 30. It's clear that someone is trying to use Battlefield 1942 to sell a fraudulent game. The trailer is the exact same as Battlefield 1942's trailer but clumsily cut short so you don't see the logo, the screenshots are the same, and even the game's description mistakenly refers to itself as Battlefield 1942 instead of Tank Battlegrounds.
Original story: It doesn't take a genius to realize that the Steam page for Tank Battlegrounds (opens in new tab), a "first-person shooting game set in World War II," is actually just Battlefield 1942.
