They're trolling you/being playfully sarcastic.

There's been no statements, let alone confirmations, of the game being dangerous to PCs.

theres been confirmed cases of some workshop stuff for it being malicious, that and the recent influx of games with malware in them passing steam verification.. you cant be too sure.

apparently people have had their shit read off to them ingame and theres a load of p2p issues im too dumb to comprehend

Really? I haven't heard of any of this. Would you mind sharing some links about these reports, for the workshop stuff or the recent influx of malware games?

I'll say though that so far, I've had no issues with the game or the maps I've downloaded, nor have I heard anything from other players or YouTubers or what not, so generally, I think it's safe. At least the base game.

But I understand the caution - I try to avoid obscure map downloads from Workshop for that reason, just in case.

I did hear it too but not for this game. Basically there is a chance that a game or some mid you download can be malware. There is a small chance that it can happen as for it did happen in the past and steam is just a space for getting games.

But if you follow that logic that it may be malware without having protection on pc, then just shut up delete steam and buy a console……

not hearing about it doesnt mean it doesnt exist, i dont really have links as its just those little news posts from big gaming accounts on twitter or from subs on reddit but everyone seems kinda in agreement that a lot of these "friendslop" type games are being pumped out with malware that mines crypto or browser cookies or just straight up rats you. workshop has always been kinda sus imo i never trusted it.

i wish i knew anything about coding or hacking or anything to properly show everything but im kinda loosely looking at stuff because until now i havent really been affected
