News Flash - November

Posted by Anton on November 09, 2011

 

 UPDATE:  Major victory, folks - Apple has finally removed the stolen version of Amazing Sheriff from the App Store. We at Fundemic would like to thank all of you who got involved to help us with a special shoutout to Alvaro from Ironhide Games (these guys are cool, go check them out) and Andrew Podolsky of Slide To Play!


Here's a summary of how the events unfolded: some shoddy individual, going by the nickname of "my Yayi", grew so jealous of the success of Amazing Sheriff that he or she simply decided to steal Amazing Sheriff from one of the portals, horribly mangle the game and put the resulting "product" on the App Store. Better yet, "my Yayi" wanted you to pay for what he or she had stole.  The app didn't even work, as several people who were unfortunate enough to download it experienced.

And now for some truly good news. Our next game, Gemaica, is coming soon and it looks unbelievably cool. Above is one of the characters with a very special appeal ;)

 

Again, thanks to all of you who play our games! It is your continued support that keeps us motivated and driven to create great titles in the future.

    Hello, I'm Alvaro from Ironhide Game Studio.

    We have also been pictims of plagiarism by the same guys. They stole our game Kingdom Rush but we got it removed after exposing them.

    Tell Apple that! Maybe it will help get the game removed faster.
    Also make sure to file a Copyright infringement notice, and if you didn't do already contact the main mobile sites (eg TouchArcade).

    If you need any advice, i'll be glad to help.

    Best of luck,
    Alvaro

    what a shame, it could of been dealt with easy if apple in general or the app store would respond to the public ... but they dont. and dont they have any quality control before publishing a game? any way great work, love your games ...
