Steam: Fast Race Game Definitely Not Laundering


Just because it is $700.

Update #2: Fast Race Game has been banned from Steam as of about 6p.m. today.

Update: It was brought to our attention via Twitter that the game was also involved in item scamming, having placed a fraudulent listing for a Counter Strike: Global Offensive weapon as one of its own market items. The listing was for a Dragon Lore sniper skin which is ridiculously expensive.

Big kudos to Kainalo for spotting this.

Original Story: It’s been quite a while since we last saw an obvious money laundering scheme launch on Steam, and Fast Race Game is certainly a contender for the race. Developed by the entirely legitimate “Racer Gamer” and “Racer Developer”, and published by the equally legit “Fast Race Game Studio” and “Fast Studio”, Fast Race Game is available for the low low cost of $700 USD. If you live in Europe the price is even more shnazzy, as it runs roughly $1,200 USD.

What do you get for the cost of two and a half Xbox One S systems? More value than three Xbox One S systems if you ask me. Just read this expertly translated description:

action adventure racing is an exciting racing game with adrenaline passion now on steam

If you’re not convinced by that sales pitch you can download the demo and give the game a spin. It may seem like a tutorial pack that was thrown together in an afternoon to barely cover that this is a money laundering scheme, but I’m not sure where you’d get that idea from. Yes absolutely none of the screenshots used in the Steam store are real and yes the developer is probably committing fraud by advertising the game as such when the game will likely never get those visuals?

But what is fraud or misleading advertising compared to a crime like money laundering? Probably small potatoes. If Fast Race Game was a money laundering scheme which it very clearly is not. If you were interested in reporting Fast Race Game to Valve as a money laundering scheme, you could go on the Store page linked below and click on the red flag.
