Drug Dealer Simulator publisher launches an investigation against Schedule 1 creator. The game is supposedly “violating company’s IP”

Imagining a modern breaking bad remake where Walter goes to jail because Saul was rusty with his copyright law knowledge
I imagine a simulator game where company makes lawsuits and owners are crying because their games are less successfull than competition. That would be funny game.

Sounds like someone is jealous that their game didn't take off but someone else's did
I played his game, and wanted to like it so much, but it's clunky and fills me with nausea in about ten minutes.
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.

Omg TI-83 for me! Then school admins got all pissed about it and banned it. So the exact game was changed to be Candy Wars. Exact same mechanics except drug names were changed to candy.

And they all are derivatives if drug war.
Which itself is a derivative of Opperhoofd

TI-82 here. Thank fuck that I got out of HS in '96. The administration hadn't caught on that we had Drug Wars, and a really shitty MechWarrior game floating around the school.

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).
I mean, if they find actual artwork, audio, or code stolen, much of which goes into UI development, that would definitely make for a fair case. I'd presume that Schedule 1 devs would never do something so stupid though.

Did you play Penguin? That was the coolest game.

No, but Redneck Rampage was also a popular game for the Ti-82

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

I doubt they will find anything copyright wise, patent wise maybe if they had patents for some of the mechanics, but if they don't already have the mechanics, and try to file post-fact that's going to backfire.

Is DDS's parent company Nintendo..?

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

That game taughte valuable life lessons.
Like if a joint smells like paraquat, do you smoke it? (No)
Buy low, sell high.
Carry as many guns as possible.
The importance of small business loans. (And that while you need to pay them off quickly, keeping cash on hand for investment is important.)
