Scammers Create Fake 'Helldivers 2' Steam Pages Using Deceptive Discounts and Brand Names
- Fake Helldivers 2 Steam pages were created, offering steep discounts to lure buyers
- The fake pages used Arrowhead and PlayStation as the developer and publisher to seem legitimate
- Screenshots showed the pages had renamed an existing game "Figurality" to match Helldivers 2
- Developer Arrowhead alerted players to stay away from fake pages and Steam responded quickly
- More safeguards may be needed to prevent obvious scams, though Valve can't feasibly approve every page change
