One of the games, Landfill, is already on Steam and you will get keys for it as soon as you purchase it.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME RIGHT NOW. Redeem the key, sure, but don't install and open it.

It has failed malware scans and has been found to actively install malware on your computer that deletes files and programs.

Well, if this does turn out to be real, thanks for the heads-up!

However, technically installing it won't do any harm - you would have to launch it, and you would have to not have effective malware protection running on your PC. I had it installed already, but haven't tried to play it.

Thanks for helping to keep this community safe. I just had to post it specifically for this bundle because it comes with a key that's oh so easy to install.

Hadn't seen that, thanks. I love that Steam disabled purchasing, but still allows us to install it. If there's no problem, then why disable purchasing? If there is a problem, then why allow us to install it? Just weird.

Because Valve's crew consists of unintelligent baboons, that's why.

I'm afraid that's because there would be people who would scream "I bought it, I want to play it, you will not tell me how I can destroy my PC, time to SUE YOU"...

If Valve implemented any change of that type, expect the GREEDY GABEN NO STAEM brigade to start screaming "KILL SWITCH!!".

I would hazard the guess that Valve has no mechanism in place to prevent a user from downloading and running software they have regularly purchased. Pretty much the same thing happens when a game is pulled from Steam: existing owners retain access to it.

Since the game has been suspended from sale, not removed, it is possible that at Valve they aren't even sure that there is a problem in the first place, and the suspension from sale is precautionary.

Good thing I stopped buying from OMB a while ago after several keys they sent me are duplicated and they didn't respond to my email until now.

Could have just as easily ended up in a Groupees Greenlight bundle instead....

And that may as well be completely arbitrary or up to mere chance. The point being that it's on the developer.

I almost redeem my key today, glad I saw that before doing it. Thanks for the heads-up.

Redeemed my key today and was going to install and play it, however my friend convinced me to play The Secret World instead. I'm damn glad I didn't hit that play button.

Edit: The game "Vapour" kept identifying as a trojan every time I got past the first loading screen. I eventually said f**k it and moved on to another game from that bundle. Still can't play it due to it being recognized as a trojan.

Again people jumping the gun, because 1 person (who knows what else he installed and had on his pc that resulted in his problems) had a problem and for all we know it being some false positive thing, and getting a game reported and character killed.
In the other thread jbondguy posted, there was already discussion how accurate that trojan might have been. https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/F5COTjs

Not claiming it might not be filled with crap, but let's not be so quick to judge it either. If it was a big AAA game then everyone would just say oh it's a false positive, i am sure it's fine, but when it's indie, it's probably shady.

Though yes it doesn't help the dev not answering on his board.

I was very upset that Uriel's Chasm wasn't detected as malware. And then they came out with the second version and my PC caught fire! I thought I heard Norton and MBAM screaming for help but I ran away. The smell of brimstone still lingers to this day.

How about Idling cards by Idle Master?

Should be safe, the game does not even need to be installed.

Farming with Idle Master or ASF isn't a problem, since they don't actually install and run the game, but they impersonate it.

why do you even use idle master? join skynet now by downloading archi's steam farm (hint: its over 9000 times better than idlemaster)

Not affected - it doesn't actually run the game.

I back what these fine people said: just don't install the game after you redeem the key. Click out of the install window after it registers.
