'Games' like this make me depressed

So, it wasn't just me, then...

I was really excited for a moment thinking this was the same game that was recently released on Steam. Then I read about it. I hope they get banned from the App Store.

Got all excited for a while too and then had a good laugh at it.Hopefully it gets pulled soon before more people get scammed.

Btw unity engine doesn't support multi threading(on the PC at least) and things get really laggy for this 4x game on my PC after 100+ turns.

I just want to note here --

every time "games" like this come up, people are asking "how did this get through apple? it's such a blatant ripoff!" Now I don't know what the "gameplay" is like and I agree apple lets somewhat questionable things though, but apple makes sure that they don't police IPs. It's not their job to see who licensed what, who has permission to use what trademarks, and so on, though they will take things down when asked. This makes sense from a law perspective.

Hope people didn't buy this.

Ok, that sounds logical, I agree. It would be a laborious ordeal to have to do that all the time for every app.

What they do need is a "simpler" way of taking it off the app store. The true developer of this game over at amplitude studios mentioned he is in talks with apple right now, but he mentioned is "not" as easy to get the game pulled.

This is something apple in the future, should work a way to simplify.

So has anyone actually played this, or are we all assuming this is a bad game.

I going to cause a storm here and say if it comes on jail break I get it and post it playing but I doubt it will as apple already on the case.

Well I am not assuming it is a bad game.
Going off what I read in the app store comments it's a asteroid shooter type game.

What turned me off - they blatantly falsed advertised, ripped the visual props (screen images, game name) from another game, then tried to make it seem as if this is a 4x and they're IP, when it's not.

Even if it were an amazing game I would not support it just off those facts.

Superb concept....!
