This dev's profile is weird, is this legit? 35 followers, a gmail contact, 15+ games added to steam this week

Edit- I find I'm not alone in concerns. I'd stay away from this one.

Edit 2- these "devs" seem to have repackaged this public source game. The code is not explicitly licensed and they probably doesn't have permission to publish it. https://github.com/sarahkwon/Potion-Shopkeeper/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file

Good find. The game itself seemed to looked fine from a gameplay perspective (sure they use store bough assets, but that's common). But the thread does raise a lot of red flags.
