Bootleg ios slime rancher

[geo]

I found a ios game called slime farmer thats exactly like slimeancher only with far less features and a lot simpler. Here's the link https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slime-f ... 90394?mt=8

I knew about that already before. I even contacted devs and they said that they can't do much about this, especially on app store and google play.

These can absolutely be removed - scumbag companies stealing people's IP with website scraping, it's terrible and should be stamped out!! They have Slime Farmer, Slime Farmer 2 and paid versions etc. All using stolen graphics.

They need to be reported to Apple via this form

Hassle Apple like mad until they actually remove it.

I don't think that it's worth intervening. Those bootlegs will keep popping up, and those bootleggers will keep making money from this just because of Google Play and App Store having literally no rules whatsoever.

I see what you mean but I have to say if it was me I would religiously do it even just to inconvenience them every time they had to take everything down. It really boils my blood that people are ripping off the hard work and creativity of fantastic, talented developers. There really should be greater regulation by Apple & Google shouldn't there.

From the look of things it is really ****, however could the devs not do something about their icon they used for the game? That is just plain copyright infringement if you ask me due to the background image used. If you look behind the slimes you can see that it uses the exact same background image of the far far ranch. I get that it may not be worth investing money on a battle they may not win for sure, but I mean in the long run.

Copying Slime Rancher is bad enough, but I looked at the other games this specific developer has made and EVERY SINGLE GAME is a blatant ripoff of another much more popular game. So even if the devs can't do anything about it, someone else is most likely going to.
