An incredibly blatant REPO ripoff has surfaced on the Nintendo Retailer, and it is obtained the kahunas to record a Swap 2 file dimension, which presumes the unlikely chance that it even makes it to the console’s launch date with out being copyright claimed to hell and again.
The sport, titled REPO Horror, is on the market for buy on the Swap eShop for $5, down from its retail value of $9… how considerate of them. I will not hyperlink to the product web page to keep away from any chance of inadvertently giving these jokers a sale, however I will say this, it was not laborious to search out with a fast Google search.
The actual REPO is at present solely out there on Steam.
Wanting on the product web page for REPO Horror, with a scary smiling emoji (pictured above) and lettering that is a close to excellent match to the REPO emblem, to not point out a media gallery that appears prefer it’s comprised completely of REPO screenshots to the untrained eye, there positively appears to be a nefarious high quality to this specific ripoff, as if it is supposed to deceive customers.
Ostensibly, the objective is to capitalize on the viral success of the co-op horror recreation REPO and trick individuals into pondering it is the identical recreation and shopping for the knockoff. It labored on Reddit consumer Attention-grabbing-Cow9795, who says they purchased REPO Horror “pondering it was the true R.E.P.O. recreation.”
Attention-grabbing-Cow says, upon booting up REPO Horror, “it felt off—very low high quality and nothing just like the official recreation I used to be anticipating to see,” additionally noting the writer being listed as BoggySoft and never REPO developer and writer semiwork.
The Redditor additionally says they alerted Nintendo Assist to the sport and had been informed “they’re escalating the difficulty to their head admins,” suggesting they weren’t the primary to flag the sport with Nintendo.
Within the product particulars on Nintendo’s storefront, the sport file dimension is listed as 1GB on each Swap 1 and Swap 2, which once more, assumes the sport will survive no matter processes exist on Nintendo’s finish and, doubtlessly, from semiwork. It virtually actually will not, however I’ve reached out to Nintendo and semiwork for remark and can replace this text if I hear again.
