Hey guys, I just came across some crazy news about an indie horror game developer. They’re in a real mess right now. Apparently, someone straight up copied their entire game and put it on the eShop! Can you believe that? The original dev is pretty upset, calling it a blatant rip-off of their hard work. I’m wondering how common this kind of thing is in the indie game world. Has anyone else heard about similar cases? It’s got me thinking about how indie devs can protect their creations from copycats. What do you all think about this situation? Is there anything the developer can do to fight back against this scam?
Ugh, this kind of thing makes my blood boil. Indie devs pour their hearts into these games, and some jerk just steals it. I’ve seen it happen with smaller mobile games too. Nintendo needs to step up their game and vet submissions better. Maybe add some kind of verification process for devs? It’s a crappy situation all around.
Wow, that’s messed up. Sadly, copycats are a real problem for indie devs. I’ve heard of similar cases before. It’s tough to protect against, but reporting to the platform can help sometimes.
That’s rough for the indie dev. Seen similar stuff with mobile games. The eShop should have better checks to stop copycats. Hopefully Nintendo takes it down quick and the real dev gets some attention from this.
Man, game theft is getting out of hand.
Not just mobile games anymore. Sucks that even Nintendo’s store got hit.
Hope they can track down the copycats fast.
Man, that sucks for the indie dev. I’ve seen stuff like this happen before. It’s a real problem in the mobile game world too. Hope Nintendo takes it down fast. Indie devs have it rough sometimes.
