lol google chrome won't let me visit the game developer's website because its maliciousThat's not a malicious warning. It's just an expired security certificate.
I think this is 100% alright, and the user is in the wrong.Well, maybe you should start playing it then? You can just leave the game running and get drops. After all, you've got nothing to lose from it right?
I bought the game, set it up on a virtual machine, and let it run for around twenty minutes. Here are some objective findings, along with my own two cents (TLDR: yes, it's a crypto miner):
- the game resource consumption is significant and inconsistent with its graphical quality or complexity;
- the proportion of CPU/GPU/RAM/IO usage is consistent with what you would expect from a crypto miner;
- this resource usage is unrelated to graphical rendering, as it persists even when the game is not being rendered or is being rendered by a separate GPU (this contradicts the developer's answer that the resource usage is related to high graphical settings);
- the resources used are not only graphical in nature, but include a sizeable amount of disk space which again is not expected from a game of this complexity; but is expected of a crypto miner;
- the game causes a huge amount of network activity, which again is not consistent with the game; but expected of a crypto miner (during the initial miner setup, the blockchain has to be downloaded);
- the game's network system port usage is as expected of a Monero miner.
I could let the game run for a few days and gather more information, but there's no doubt in my mind that this game runs a Monero mining node. Just your (pretty good) description of the facts should be enough for this conclusion, really; I bought and ran the game mostly out of a sense of stunned disbelief.
This is terrifying; and the kicker here is that this is just one of the many ways that this game is making money for its developers, as you pointed out. I for one do not welcome our new highly optimized, multi-venue money-making overlords.
Thanks again for another solid piece of journalism, Sid!
Add-ons don't grow on treeswhat kind of farmer says 'don't grow'?
Confess stuff. I'll start.You should've just stuck to the women in coats thing.

When you kill someone it's basically gta online rules. They respawn near the spot they died at,They should give you the option to choose where to spawn to be honest. Endless spawnkilling is just bad game design.
So I can keep killing them over and over.
They repair their ship and I break it again.
