WEIRD STEALING ON RMW

Thread already gone!

That's sooo weird. Mirak is probably right for the cause but it could also be someone liking the game? XD

Is WAUTAH posted on RMW by you already?

Nah, I think Mirak's on the money here. Otherwise they wouldn't have posted the game's description ad verbatim. Definitely an element of plagiarism here, and I think if they were just trying to spread awareness it would've been an original thread praising and discussing the game.

If they're not claiming it's their game (even just by snuffing out the credits) or reuploading it somewhere, it's probably not going to be anything significantly damaging. But it never hurts to pop into those comments sections to say "Hey, thanks for posting about my game!" because people will often attribute a copypaste to the OP and not dig deeper than that.

Also I know reposters/reuploaders in the past have commonly targeted games made by devs likely to be inactive. So making them aware that you're on top of it might help deter them.

I would have mentioned this earlier but the crew at RMW dealt with it. It seems it was some kind of bot account and they had a few games they'd tried to add up but they were caught quickly. I of course looked here for the user in question but no luck. It's weird that despite having denied threads they still tried to get through. So weird.

If you see any other games by someone else there, report it as such. The mods there aren't as hands-on with knowing games as peeps here are.

If I remember the thread on RMW, there was a comment that was basically, "This is already on here, gonna report this". I don't remember which member that was, but, I reported the thread myself, and I recall unity posting in it to say, "Yo, this is actually my game, it already has a game-thread here, this user has no rights to it". The evidence was certainly piling up!
