Valve Takes Down Cryptocurrency Virus on Steam Store

Abstractism wasn’t the simple platformer it claimed to be. Not only was it selling items used in Team Fortress 2 scamming, but was also accused of having a cryptocurrency virus. Valve was quick to remove the game from the Steam Store, but this opens many questions as to if malware is being sold on the platform.
