I don't know when it began, and young people are no longer directly related to being good at computers. More and more computer novices have become the talk of others because of their unbelievable experiences. Downloading the correct Steam platform has become the biggest test for many college students who have just obtained their first computer and enter the door of buyout games.
Of course, even if you've been a long-time Steam user, you shouldn't take it lightly. It is said that "the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high", and many of the current routines are simply impossible to prevent, and even "kill" old users. Recently, some players encountered a new type of "cyber willow" on the Steam platform.
The so-called "cyber willow" originated from the content of the wallpaper software wallpaper. It is itself an electronic virus that can invade a player's computer and steal a player's account. These viruses are hidden in Wallpaper's wallpaper content, and players will be tricked when they download it. Because of this, Wallpaper's downloads were affected for a while.
The problem this time is that there is a third-party web interface on the Steam platform. The interface displays more expensive game items, and the UI and background look very similar to the original Steam. The moment many players see it, they may subconsciously click into it.
As you can imagine, it is by no means Steam's purchase interface, but a store link to a treasure. Although players will not continue to buy without recognition, they can't help it keep popping out like a small advertisement. Find half of the game and appear directly in the center of the screen, and no one can bear it.
The reason for this situation is speculated by netizens to be related to the fact that they have bought a cheap CD Key. Unlike regular Steam keys, these CD Keys tend to sell for single digits, essentially the kind of offline games that can't be updated. Although it can be played, electronic viruses are also included, and if you are not careful, it will be a thunderstorm.
At this stage, there is no good way to deal with this situation, and it seems that only by uninstalling Steam + deleting files and reinstalling can this "cyber willow" that does not know where the lesion is.
However, the reason for these problems is that players want to play the game at a lower cost, rather than getting the game through formal channels. Giving money and not giving enough results ended up encountering some bizarre problems, which can be regarded as a kind of "curse" for buying offline games online.
If you have to choose, I hope you still choose the game between paid and free, and don't take the middle value.
