I just started typing in common video game title words in Steam's search, and I found several games just called "Void". We can extrapolate that scenario out and say maybe a new game is the first one on Steam to be called Void, but maybe there was an old DOS game called Void that came to Steam later after rights issues have been resolved. There's also the very common situation of a remake and its original version both being available on Steam, and maybe different companies own the rights to each one, like Star Wars: Battlefront. Perhaps these and other reasons are why those checks don't exist, but maybe they will now if these sorts of scams become more common.

It's going to be really confusing soon because there will be;

  • Star Wars: Battlefront
  • Star Wars: Battlefront II
  • Star Wars: Battlefront
  • Star Wars: Battlefront II
  • Star Wars: Battlefront
  • Star Wars: Battlefront II

Battlefront, Battlefront 2, Battlefront and Battlefront 2 are good, but Battlefront and Battlefront 2 are not good.

I concur. At least the logos for the bad ones have "EA" in the middle of them so that you know which ones to avoid.

You're so god damn wrong. Battlefront 2 was far and away better than Battlefront 2 and I'll fight anyone who says differently.

I do agree that Battlefront 2 was garbage though.
