changedI'm not sure how to approach this issue, but here's my side of the story. Windows Defender is falsely quarantining my game for trojan after a recent Windows 10 update. I've gotten reports of Norton locating a trojan file as well. This is resulting in a lack of trust and negative reviews, and it worries me immensely. I've contacted Steam support and they responded extremely swiftly, directing me to contact the antivirus vendors. I can't seem to get a response from Microsoft. I advise everyone who is still skeptical of the game to avoid playing it, because there isn't really a way to prove that the game isn't a virus other than the fact that it hasn't been taken off Steam. From a consumer's perspective, better safe than sorry. This just really bums me out, though. I'll keep everyone updated.
