Streamer battling stage 4 cancer left in tears after losing over $30,000 allegedly after playing verified game on Steam

Pump.fun Streamer RastalandTV recently had an emotional breakdown in connection with an official Steam game named "BlockBlasters" that seemingly has cryptocurrency connections. For context, Rastaland, who has been struggling with stage four cancer, was drained of $32,000 after downloading BlockBlasters, which ended up being malicious software in disguise.

The website Pump.fun is a Solana-based platform launched in January 2024 that lets anyone create meme coins quickly and often for free, and immediately trade them. Apart from cryptocurrency, the website is also a platform for livestreaming. RastalandTV used Pump.fun to create the coin "$CANCER," which reportedly formed the backbone to support his cancer treatment procedures.

On X, the streamer shared an emotional video of himself on September 21, 2025, with a caption that read:

"For anybody wondering what is going on with $CANCER live stream... my life was saved for whole 24 hours untill someone tuned in my stream and got me to download verified game on @Steam. After this I was drained for over 32,000$ USD of my creator fees earned on @pumpdotfun and everything quickly changed. I can't breathe, I can't think, im completely lost on what is going to happen next, can't shake the feeling that it is my fault that I might end up on street again or not have anything to eat in few days... my heart wants to jump out of my mouth and it hurts. I won't rewatch this myself but I have added a clip from the stream after I noticed what has happened."

The clip in question shows Rastaland exclaming:

"No! No! No!..."

Overall, the Steam game used a virus to deprive the streamer of his Pump.fun creator fees. User @zachxbt on X cited RastalandTV's situation, among others, and called out Steam, saying:

"You clowns allow malware on your platform that has resulted in $150K+ stolen from victims (fake game has been available to download for more than a month)"

On the Steam platform, a community forum for BlockBlasters features a comment from user A Temu Vape, who warned fellow gamers not to install the game, referencing Rastaland's issue:

"A streamer played this game and had 30k stolen from their cancer treatment funding. There is a .bat file that disables antivirus software and looks for crypto wallets and stored passwords. Do. Not. Download. This. Game. The game devs truly deserve the absolute worst in life...."
