Fangame "Sonic Gather Battle" revealed to be a trojan

DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF FREAKING GOD, DONT DOWNLOAD SONIC GATHER BATTLE.

If your not aware of this game, SGB is a Japanese Sonic fangame that looks fun, but secretly inside is something messed up.

You see, if the game detects if your web browser had searched for "SGB hacks" or some crap OR if you have cheat engine installed, the game will crash, and upon reopening it,

you will get a creepy level that's actually scary. (pictured bellow)

 

 

Worse of all, during this it shares your IP address to the game's creator's cloud, allowing him to steal credit card information and more.

 

SO PLEASE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE GAME, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IT AND DONT WANT TO GET THE CONSEQUENCES, PLAY IT ON A VIRTUAL MACHINE WITH NO INTERNET (OR FIREWALL THE GAME)
