NZXT Cam showing I've played "Another Brick In The Mall". I didn't even know of it's existance till now.

I mainly play Overwatch, so NZXT Cam shows that, but, it also shows I play "Another Brick In The Mall", I wasn't even aware what this is till I looked it up. Got me in a panic as I thought maybe its virus or malware related as the game looked like some Mobile Android app/game. I'm not sure it is that, but its certainly concerning that an unknown application is triggering logged time in my NZXT Cam. Google search revealed some other users had experienced this phantom game appearing in their NZXT cam software too. There was no mention here on the game's discussion board, so I thought I'd document in hopes that others experiencing this can help get to the bottom of it.

Yeah I am getting the same notification. It started last week and keeps happening, says I played for 47 seconds today but I don't even have the game

Maybe its a common app. I'm suspect of either Adobe CC plugins or FL Studio/VSTs. LMK if those seem probable.

It's probably due to the executable which is named launch.exe...
A poor choice in retrospect :/

experienced just now. kinda disturbing, but glad to hear I'm not the only one.

Does this problem still occur for you? I tried scanning but nothing came up.

why is this still a thing lol

[Skor Thc]

I just realized this is happening on my cam software too anyone find a fix or figure out if this is some hidden virus

[Huperspace]

just a software that only looks for a process name and silly devs who don't give their exe proper names. (a lot of games have the same "default" exe name or only named the launcher)

[DizzyCooper]

i dont even have this game as far as i know why is NZXT app showing ive played it?

[Cheydrate]

Yeah, happening to me too. Weird as hell

Yep and it's happening to me now. I thought it was a hacker utilizing my computer's resources to play remotely somehow. I wouldn't blame them, my 3080ti is nice XD
