  I believe they were streaming on a platform that is built around cryptos

  I don’t think it’s such a direct lesson since it could’ve been other financial information on there. Instead of a crypto key, the game could’ve installed a keylogger that read the player’s banking password later.

  It’s more of a general warning that Steam games are not necessarily safe.

    Well, with my banking login the scammer could look at my balance. To withdraw they would need a TAN as well and therefore my banking card. Good luck getting hold of that with malware ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Depends on the bank

      Some bank give out that information if you login
