        This is not a good look, maybe focus on not making a sequel worse than the first game

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

            Ah, the Palworld effect. As a small indie dev makes more money, the probability a large company sues for IP infringment approaches 100%.

              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.

                  So drug dealing methods are now copyright protected ? Because they are in game. xD

                            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.

                              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.

                                      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.

                                        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.
