It's really a shame they don't keep track on such things. I think Steam is supposed to protect its customers. I mean, when they buy the games, they pay already for quality and safety. I don't know how many people were playing Abstraction (it is not available now and there's almost no info online), but Steam is too famous to fall victim of such scandalous events. Valve is worth billions of dollars. Is it hard to hire good programmers and not shaken the trust of people buying stuff on Steam?
At the same time, though, maybe this mining is a smart type, so the player usually doesn't even suffer much from it.

One of the largest gaming platforms, Steam, was recently a victim of attacks by scammers. The steam users noticed that a game named abstractism was consuming enormous amount of CPU and GPU. Later it was found out that the users were unknowingly mining Monero.

It is really bad news for Crypto, this certainly damages the crypto image to others who do not know crypto. When people play games for fun, they are betrayed by scams like this. I hope this is immediately investigated and also maybe not just this game that is embedded with the background-mining. Let's hope that this problem will be resolved ASAP!

It is very unfortunate that scams are now everywhere. They have started to enter into the games as well. Now it is becoming difficult to keep trust on anything in this market. Hoping that, proper measures will be taken to control these scams.
