Is it just a case of similarity, or did Schedule 1 draw too much inspiration? Movie Games has started an investigation, claiming to have found notable resemblances between the game and its Drug Dealer Simulator series.
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.
I doubt they will find anything copyright wise, patent wise maybe if they had patents for some of the mechanics, but if they don’t already have the mechanics, and try to file post-fact that’s going to backfire.
