Airport Security Sucks! is the previous game from the team behind Scam With Your Friends: same developers (JakeHub, Metater), same publisher (Jatater Worldwide), same store shape. It released on June 5, 2026 at $4.95, Windows-only on Steam.
What it is
Airport Security Sucks! is a comedy job simulator in the same spirit as the newer game: you run a checkpoint instead of a call center, and the game's humour comes from the gap between the boring job and the chaos it attracts. The developer's own channel announced it with an all-caps "OUT NOW" post on June 6, 2026, the day after the store release date, and the game has since received a substantial content update.
Why it matters for Scam With Your Friends
- The platform pattern repeats. Both games are Windows-only digital Steam releases with no Mac, Linux or console version. The newer game's platforms situation is not an anomaly; it is how this team ships.
- The price pattern is informative. The previous game launched at $4.95, a low single-price point with no edition tiers. That is a data point, not a promise: the price for Scam With Your Friends is unannounced, and this game's scope is larger.
- The update cadence is observable. The developer's channel shows an official update trailer for Airport Security Sucks! in September 2026, three months after release, adding helicopters, ridable drones and a cop disguise. For a team running its second game, that is the most concrete evidence available about post-launch support, and it matters for anyone weighing the Early Access purchase.
- The genre lineage is explicit. The developer's own channel used the term "friendslop" for a playtest of the airport game, which tells you the team knows exactly which shelf it is on: co-op comedy games played with friends.
What it does not tell you
- Sales or player counts. Neither game's numbers are published beyond the newer game's wishlist announcements.
- Whether Scam With Your Friends will follow the same price. Different scope, different year, no statement.
- Long-term support. One update trailer is a data point, not a commitment.
If you want to see the team's style before October, the previous game is the cheapest possible trial run, and the playtest for the new one is the free version of the same experiment.
