On Steam, two indie games passed themselves off as Helldivers 2

Here's a rather daring scam that hasn't gone unnoticed! The success of the excellent Helldivers 2 has inspired an unscrupulous developer.

This Thursday, February 29, two copies of Arrowhead Game Studios' title appeared on Steam. They were priced at $12.49 and $19.49 respectively. Needless to say, this was obviously a scam.

In reality, it was two independent titles called Figularity and Do Not Smile whose Steam page had been transformed to resemble that of Helldivers 2. One and the same person is said to be behind these two games.

In any case, Valve has proceeded to delete these two pages.
