This analysis immediately identified the use of several elements protected by copyright, including parts of the game's storyline, mechanics, and UI (User Interface).
The UI is protected by copyright?
Sounds like bullshit. DDS's publisher should focus on improving DDS2. I was considering getting it, but decided against it when I read the reviews (many bugs, subpar updates).

Oh go fuck yourselves Drug Dealer was never protected by copyright. Anyone claiming those rights has had them violated tens if millions of time by kids with Texas Instruments calculators since the 1990s.

Sounds like someone is jealous that their game didn't take off but someone else's did

Being a drug dealer in real life was much more engaging.

I played Drug Wars on my TI-89 almost 25 years ago which sounds like the same game but with better graphics.

Played both, and I do see similarities. But enough for a case? Ehh... I'm not a lawyer.

DDS was a failure. False marketing trailers showing gangs and guns and their updates were basically just adding few shitty looking furniture.
