Spacewar suddenly appeared in my library

[T:Jenks]

A game without a store page appeared in my library and i apparently played it for half an hour. I don't want to click it, it seems pretty sus

Did you pirate a game recently?

[T:Jenks]

I played wow for the past weeks, nothing else. No pirating for years

[d3str0y3r]

The reason i ask is a lot of pirated games use it.

However it is a tool/showcase made to help steam works developers, not meant to be a game for the public.

I can't even remove it

It seems to be a bigger issue than I thought. At least I'm not alone

You just won the golden ticket. It means you're going to get an invite to beta test HL3!

Simply to put it, you never do get rid of it, Spacewars is a trojon pirated games use that makes it possible for them to bypass Steam's systems, in short if its there then literally one or more prior pirated games you had were using it, thus your stuck with it.

Spacewar at one point actually was used by total warhammer 2 mod manager, which IS legit. But maybe they actually stopped using spacewar, I moved to warhammer 3 and don't use the mod manager anymore.

With that said...the OP has pretty toxic comments toward them (accusing) them of aim bots and overall toxic behavior in games. Whether true or not, a lot of these threads that popup the OP often has similar comments. Though one person in their comments on their profile should get a nice community ban for that hard R usage that they so willingly throw out.

It's actually a bit of a weird trend on the forums lately. You are the 3rd or 4th asking this week iirc, weirdly enough.
Unless you've deleted a thread and re posting.

I just saw that spacewar must have been running on my steam when I wasn't home.
This is creeping me out, lol

well thats the only reason why spacewar would show up if, apart from digging for the demo itself

[AustrAlien2010]

How do you know there aren't other reasons?

Only you know, because only you and a few others have this. I obviously don't know, because I don't know what you guys did. I can only read what others write what you did, and then flip a coin on whether or not those statements are true.

Some CSGO mods and FiveM use the Spacewar AppID to execute their programs. If you've been using any 3rd party mod frameworks on the likes of CSGO and GTA for instance, this might be the reason.
