Why is Steam saying my friends are playing Hello Kitty: Island Adventure when I know they aren't?
I frequently see that my friends on Steam are playing Hello Kitty: Island Adventure. I know that this is not accurate. Why is Steam reporting that they're playing a game that isn't on Steam? Is Steam lying?
