Title: Steam Sale or Scam: Just Spotted a 90% Off "Rare" Game

"Hey guys, I just got back from lunch and my eyes landed on this crazy Steam sale - a 'rare' game that I've never heard of, 'Echoes of Eternity', is supposedly 90% off its usual price of $60. Anyone else noticed this game? Sounds suspiciously like a last-min scam to me..."

"Lol what a bait-and-switch, I can already imagine the 1000 page TOS agreement. You gotta ask yerself, where's the source for that 'rare' game, Steam's own database or some shady seller? Probably just a fancy rehash with a price tag to match"

"OMG, I saw that Steam sale last night and was tempted to buy, but something didn't sit right with me. The 'rare' game was from 2010 and had like 0 reviews, which is super sus. I'll be waiting for someone else to test it out before I even think about buying"

"Dude, don't fall for that 90% off 'rare' game on Steam, it's probably a phishing scam. I've seen similar deals pop up before and the game just gets taken down a day later. Trust your instincts and do some research before making that purchase."

"Dude, I've seen this before, it's probably a fake listing created by a scammer. The "rare" game is probably a repacked or pirated copy, and they're just trying to make a quick buck. Don't fall for it, OP!"

"Dude, I'd tread carefully with that one. I've seen similar listings on Steam for years, and 90% off is usually a red flag. It's likely a scam or an old game with a fake rarity claim."
