The last few years have seen a tonne of people reaching out to developers to try and snaffle free games. Pretending to be journalists or streamers with large audiences, the scammers are looking for keys they can keep for themselves or sell on. According to Jacob Janerka, the developer of Paradigm, he came across someone who went a step further: making up an entire cafe to try and fish for game keys.
Jacob Janerka's game Paradigm is about a candy-vomiting sloth.
Janerka recounts whole experience as a post on Imgur. It began with an email from someone calling themselves Dmitry Tseptsov and claiming to have opened a coffee shop in Lviv, Ukraine. To draw in customers, Dmitry was offering a discount and a game key to anyone who could answer three game questions correctly. He was emailing Janerka to see if he could have some game keys he could giveaway to his customers. In return he would promote the game at his coffee shop.
