Bring back avatars on game pages to help prevent scams

Didn’t realize this was a huge issue until today. Now I’m questioning why avatars were ever removed in the first place!

I’ve received a few complaints about this game

It’s a spam clicker game where you accidentally click purchase on a developer product or gamepass. You lose the robux in your account and the owner gets rich.
He’s using a username very similar to mine so even semi-aware users are falling victim to this. I feel like if the game’s web page showed the avatar of the owner, the amount of scammed players would go down. Once you see the character, you realize it’s not me.

It also wouldn’t hurt to have a verification system for games and/or (especially) recognized developers. There will always be people who don’t recognize scammers even with verification symbols like on YouTube, but we can still save a lot of the keener users. This has already been proposed before though I think it could better prevent the possibility of a scammer affording the same clothes as a popular dev.
