Hi friends,

I saw this report on *****. An Italian website is doing translations of free games, changing the name and putting the sale: https://www.giochipremium.com/

When one creator contacted them asking to remove his game, they menaced him telling that they would make people's games taken down. Take a look if this happened to your games.

Original thread: https://*****.com/threads/italian-web ... hem.25212/

When I clicked on giochipremium I received a 'you do not have permission' error message. I'm hoping somebody contacted that site's server host and posted a DRM notification.

Didn't know that the website that I mentioned was banned here, any specific reason?

The italians are still on, Milf City by Icstor being sold by €9.99. Just checked now.

I believe that us, small creators are very susceptible to this kind of bad people attacks. This is very perturbing.

Just to avoid advertising to hackers...

Okay, I won't mention it again

They should be called: ChopShop.com they chop up some amount of games, mish mash them together, rename them and actually claim them then as their own work to sell to clueless people.

Sad to see, but it is always expected some amount of noobs will do this to other peoples games.

That's really upsetting that they're doing it in the open.
Hacking a game and putting it freely in your site, profiting from ads alone is already bad.
Asking money for the game is preposterous. I would accept if they made some agreement with each game devs and charged for the actual translation of the games but I sincerely doubt that it's what is happening.

You are correct, it is not what is happening, I was chatting to most of the Devs whose games have been stolen, and they have tried everything legal wise to get the site taken down, and have their content removed, but as yet these stealing bastards dont seem to be going anywhere, and they are still doing new chop ups on new games.
