Epic Games is giving away cyberpunk Metroidvania Axiom Verge on its store right now, but players quickly found that there’s a serious error with the free game. It turns out that Axiom Verge had a bad crashing glitch, all because the developer took out all mentions of “Steam” from the game’s code.

“Downloaded Axiom Verge from Epic Store (it’s free and I hear it’s good),” tweeted an Epic Games Store user named Scott LaGrasta. “Game crashes 100% entering an area. I poke around & find the log files. Turns out it’s missing a sound effect: ‘steam.’”
