Be Careful, Bootleg Game - Kaguya-sama: Love is War Starts Appearing on Steam!

Steam as the largest PC game marketplace platform currently has a very dominant position. One of the advantages of the platform lies in how easy it is for indie and individual developers to market their games. It’s just that this convenience is often used by many irresponsible parties to release games in a very bad or fake form. An example of the latest case that we found today can be seen from the visual novel adaptation game Kaguya-sama: Love is War whose official page has appeared on Steam.

We got news about the game for the first time through the media Gematsu, which from the start looks quite suspicious. First, the trailer for the game uses the same PV as the anime when it first aired. Then our suspicions grew stronger when the game’s official page on Steam gave strange descriptions including reviews that were only intended for the anime and not for the game.

In addition, some of the assets used, for example, Chika Fujiwara’s artwork in the screenshots section of the menu is the same artwork as one of the illustrators in the screenshot. pixiv. The use of assets that are not original works is indeed a strong indication that the game is bootleg or fake. Even the publishers and developers who are known to be Shueisha are also very dubious, because the company at least as far as we know does not have a game division.

Because it is very suspicious and indicated as a copyright infringement, we recommend that you avoid downloading the game. Even if it’s available for free, there’s always a chance that the file contains a malicious virus or something.
