New Firewatch got released, publisher of the original mocks it in an ingenious way

  • 342

If by chance you missed the information that this year we`re getting a Firewatch sequel, of one of the best indie games in 2016, do not worry - you do not live under a rock. The so-called New Firewatch these days really has come out, on iOS, but except that stole the name to the original Firewatch, with that game and its developers had nothing to do.

For this iOS crap allegedly was credited someone named Albert Gavril to whom the publisher of the original Firewatch probably frustrated plans of easy money when he discovered that their IP is being unauthorized used.

Cabel Sasser from publishing houses Panic, Inc. immediately reported the game as a fraud and the same soon got removed from the iOS applications store. But Sasser went a step further and duly demonstrated what kind of games stray on the AppStore.

Sasser`s "Let's play" video got so liked by the Firewatch fans that they suggested to him that he should threw himself into YouTubers waters.

I'm afraid this is not the first and last time, that why you always should look at the owner and publisher.
