[Quote][b][URL=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware]Spyware Warning![/URL][/b] This game has been known in the past to act as spyware and performed personal data gathering and transmission. It attempted to install the Redshell malware/rootkit into your PC, which cannot be removed cleanly afterwards. This spyware rootkit compromises the integrity of your PC. This spyware rootkit monitors and reports on all aspects of your PC as well as your browsing history, passwords and online activity. There's no way to opt out and you are forced to agree to a non-enforcable agreement which involves the developer selling your private data and profiling you. This is completely unethical and reprehensible. Gamers must be aware of the dangers of installing this harmful software and should avoid this completely.[/Quote] [quote][b]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] Stonies is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. There's only a superficial "game" here. This was a trojan horse. Yes, it looks like a crappy version of Farmville with a caveman skin, but the toxicity here is like layers of an onion. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop... but the next layer is the malware payload... now, the developer claims to have removed this but it's unclear if they have. Can you trust them? If you could trust them, [b]they would not have bundled a malware rootkit in this mobile app!!![/b] Redshell is a completely nasty bit of malware that infects your system with a rootkit, basically full remote control of your PC by the developers, they can run any code they want, inspect anything they want, send and upload any of your personal stuff, and log every keystroke you make. The purpose of this trojan horse is to infect your PC with that malware so the developer can begin profiting from the data they steal from you, and combine with data about you from other sources. Putting that toxicity aside (but it really should be enough), or assuming you go ahead and trust the developer that they're not longer infesting your PC with malware (I recommend you don't)... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I don't think you did either... this kind of mobile app has no place in your Steam library. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. This is potentially dangerous software that may cause direct or indirect harm to you and your computer. Malware like Redshell is a real threat to you.
