Con artist Lord Kres throws in the towel.
Update: Valve has banned Qubburo 2 from the store.
Original Story: We’ve talked once or twice about the con artist known as Lord Kres, a person who by all means should have been banned off of the Steam platform years ago. Yet for reasons that probably lean heavily toward indifference, Valve has remained woefully silent.
Lord Kres may be most recognizable from his scam game Journey of the Light, a 2015 title that fraudulently sold itself as having seven levels and only had one. Kres launched his next scam the same year in the form of Voxelized which was at the time a terrible Minecraft clone. Eventually it evolved into a terrible Minecraft clone running on Unreal. And finally the game hit its latest stage in the form of a terrible Unreal engine asset flip with no gameplay.
So to summarize, it went from this:
To this:
But the story doesn’t stop there. Lord Kres has shuffled this scam into a new shady set of hands. On August 14 associations shifted between Lord Kres to 2127 Games and it appears they will be pulling off the next swindle in Voxelized’s long legacy.
SteamDB changes show a name change to Qubburo 2, the early access information has been wiped, and the “about this game” section might be the most unprofessional thing I’ve seen on Steam to this date.
Well at least the developer acknowledges that they’re just swindling people and have no idea what they are doing.
If you ask me, this all seems like a really stupid ploy to avoid Steam’s $100 placement fee to put a lazy sequel to a lazy shooter that just came out two weeks ago. Either that or 2127 Games is Lord Kres and this is just a continuation of his career of fraud. They might be damned to failure but at least they won’t be out $100.
