Darkest Dungeon the Latest Victim of Windows 8 App Store Scams

February 24, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

The indie title from Red Hook Studios is the latest victim of scams.

Someone is selling Darkest Dungeon on the Windows 8 App Store and it isn't the real thing. Darkest Dungeon is only presently available on Steam and the Humble Store, though it's slated for release on the PlayStation 4 once it gets out of Early Access. 

In any case, someone uploaded a 2MB file to the Windows 8 Store, labeling it Darkest Dungeon and using a screenshot from the game. 

The co-president of Red Hook Studios, makers of the game, Tyler Sigman stated on Twitter that they are aware of the issue and have folks at Microsoft to deal with it, after requesting help from the public about getting in touch with the company. 

Despite the fact that this will be resolved soon, this just shows how lax Microsoft is with curating its software on the Windows App Store.
