Recently, foreign media Windows Central released news about Thomas Mahler, president of Moon Studios, a developer of "Maliciousness", which mentioned that Thomas once called on the Discord platform to leave positive comments because this may cause the studio to face the risk of closure.

But the news made Thomas unhappy, who believed that the media's views "because "Malicious" was affected by Steam's negative reviews, which may lead to the studio's closure", implying that they are kidnapping players "must give positive comments" and smearing "Malicious" or Moon Studios.

Thomas posted a long post on Twitter, claiming that it was all the fault of the Internet madman. The reason why they hated "Malice" was because the work did not include "five trans characters" and was "not affected by political nonsense", so they made crazily negative reviews.

"Overall, almost all players who tried Maliciousness after the recent update were very positive. The reason I left comments on Discord was simply to refute some nonsense comments. I've been hated by some lunatics over the years, and I've seen calls for bad reviews because, in the eyes of these people, I'm a Nazi. Now anyone who doesn't include five trans characters in the game and doesn't let the work be affected by political bullshit is a Nazi. What a crazy world it is."

Thomas also explained the reason for posting comments. He did not canvass or kidnap players, but just hoped that players who like "Malicious Intent" would leave positive reviews, that's all.The studio is not facing an "imminent financial crisis" either, and their team is still working to create excellent works, and he speaks out just to fight back against the politically tangled Steam comments.
