This is an interesting vector, since it costs $100 to even post a free game on Steam. Did the game dev poison their own game, or did someone get access to their account to upload the hacked version? The article doesn't seem to specify.
Article seems to imply it was intentional by the devs. Also making it free to play with no DLC is an unusual business model.
That was my read as well, but the author didn't make it very clear. I suppose since there wasn't any effort to restore a "clean" version means, it's likely that it was intentional.
