PirateFi, a free-to-play game released on Steam, was recently pulled for distributing malware to players. Valve has warned gamers who downloaded the title and advised them to conduct thorough system scans with anti-virus software. It remains uncertain how many players were infected, as SteamDB recorded a peak of just five players, suggesting others may have faced launch issues. Moreover, reports emerged of a job posting for a chat moderator, hinting at automated operations behind the game. Steam is also addressing platform safety by banning ad-reliant titles.
Valve has been notifying players who downloaded PirateFi about the takedown and encourages running a full-system scan with anti-virus software.
SteamDB listed only five players at PirateFi's peak, raising concerns about how many were actually infected.
There was a job offer on Telegram for an in-game chat moderator for PirateFi, indicating possible AI involvement.
Almost half of Steam's users are still on Windows 10, despite the support shutdown this fall.
