    But... but... it's not Thursday!

    (Is it? Let me check. Nope, not yet!)

    I'm guessing this is the publisher doing this, rather than anything
    sponsored by Epic.

    Incidentally, the proper name of the game is: "Find the Oil Racing
    Edition"... which contradicts the name in URL ("The Last Hope Atomic
    Bomb Crypto War"). The URL is correct, but it looks like the developer
    just reused their store page to flog a completely different game.
    Which doesn't inspire much trust.

    Between the terrible reviews, the overall sketchiness, and just how
    unpleasant the game looks (oh, and yeah, 'cause the game is on
    Epic)... I think I'll pass.
