Is Steam a big vector? Gamers download hundreds of apps, all get installed as admin. You have to trust every dev of the game and the devs of every library they use. Not just trust that the devs weren't actively trying to be evil but also that their is no bugs in their networking code (https://momo5502.com/blog/?p=34) nor any bugs in their deserialization code for mods |

I've never heard of something like that happening, and I've been using Steam since day 1.
Trying to find something on Google about that only turns up the usual "Hijacked accounts spreading malware to friends" scheme [0] and vulnerabilities in the client itself [1], but nothing about Steam distributing malware hidden in games.
Which is kinda unexpected, I probably just didn't dig deep enough?
