They don't actually own the game.
Either buy, review then refund, or (more likely) someone family sharing to those smurfs.

When valve start ban for fake reviews and delete all greenlight trash. So never

Nice find, officially sponsored review rigging. They'll be gone soon.
P.S. Your Chrome browser looks out-of-date, using the old bookmark stars and nav buttons. You should update it if you haven't recently -- lot of drive-by sploits for the older chrome builds.

I used the link earlier but it just takes me to the reviews that I was already reading -- and I tend not to click links in reviews posted on Steam.
Anyways, glad to hear you're not the one with a vulnerable browser! :D

By the way how come there is an own report category for Child Exploitation (and yet all those anime games are still on Steam :D) but none for Fake reviews ?

yeah, report as fraud instead as that's the nearest category (still widely inaccurate, but hey, Valve logic)

Reported.
But the description of the game is so amazing:
You are a man or a woman, in a fairly simple ammunition. The game begins in a small hangar and you are an ordinary mercenary in the arsenal which only has a simple shotgun, he took the part in small operations to earn money first.
One day I hope I can be in a fairly simple ammunition.

Concerning Games from VRS production
10 JANUARY- ALDEN
We (Valve) have identified unacceptable behavior involving multiple Steam accounts controlled by the developer of this game, VRS production. These accounts were used to make fraudulent purchases and post positive reviews for the developer's own games.
For these reasons, we are ending our business relationship with VRS production and removing this game from sale. If you have previously purchased this game, it will remain accessible in your Steam library.

Remember this moment, for it is one of rare, almost never seen instances of Valve actually having standards for the games it sells. Remember it well, for you might not live long enough to see it again.

I don't think they care about that actually.
They care about losing money on chargebacks by devs.
Comment has been collapsed.
this. Valve never cared about tens of devs generating tons of keys to post reviews, but they changed review system, only moment they started to care enough to take serious action was the moment it atsrted to const Valve money for all the chargebacks/refunds.

well second time in a short time they terminate their business relationship with some shady developer and removing all their games from steam now, maybe they just recently decided to make a move on these shemes.

only devs so far they made a move against are ones who were refunding / charging-back money (account who wrote these positive reviews didn't have the game in their account), aka costing Valve because Volvo had to pay bank fees themselves. There are tens of devs who have fake reviews they got from free keys and Valve did nothing against them, so I really doubt it's the case of Valve finally taking a step against devs screwing up users via fake reviews, it's only the case of Valve taking a step again devs who directly screwed up with Valve by doing refund/chargeback schemes which costs Valve actual money.

ah i see, missed the refund point on the previous case. So i guess the next step for valve is to remove all postive reviews for the games you refund. :D

well in previous case Volvo said "These accounts were used to exploit the Community Marketplace and post positive reviews for his own games." - Community Marketplace explaoitation means prolly also some monetary loses for Valve so pretty much the same reason ;) And posting fake reviews may (but don't have to) mean the same as in this case - refund/chargeback fraud to boost reviews, but Community Marketplace exploitation enough would be enough as it itself generates fees ;)

Remember when Valve changed the review system and invalidated all key activations from contributing to the score, stating this will combat the fake reviews that upvote utterly trash? Looks like it worked perfectly. Until some mastermind figured out that they could make accounts to purchase the games on Steam, idle for 5 minutes, write a review, refund the money to the PayPal account all accounts used, and register a new account for the next game.
