So please let me know then.

This actually comes from them:

Dear Gamers,

We’d like to address your Schedule I / Drug Dealer Simulator publication and share some facts regarding the situation.

1. There is no lawsuit.
2. It is not our intention to prevent TVGS from selling or developing their game.
3. There is an investigation into the nature of similarities between the games since a preliminary legal analysis indicated there might have been an infringement.
4. The analysis and investigation were necessary in the light of repeating opinions that the games are very similar. By not investigating it, Movie Games, being a publicly traded company, could face severe consequences for negligence.
5. The above was communicated only via ESPI, a stock market communication system, where we are obligated to publish such information for full transparency. Not publishing it would also be a case of negligence. From there it was picked up by the media and, in some cases, wrongly reported as a lawsuit.
6. The above is handled only by Movie Games, the publisher, not Byterunners, the developer of Drug Dealer Simulator. The developer is not involved in it whatsoever.

There is no ill will towards TVGS. We even mailed them best wishes shortly before the release, when the game was already huge, but before the investigation was deemed necessary. However, we are obligated to perform this investigation, act accordingly to the scope of the infringement if it is confirmed, and inform the public about it via ESPI.

Best wishes,
Movie Games

Well, looking at Movie Games SA's stock price it appears they never recovered from whatever happened in August 2020, because they rode high on something which then declined pretty rapidly at the start of 2021. They went from 140 Polish złoty (about £28 ) in Aug 2020 all the way down to today which is almost their lowest stock price at just 16 Polish złoty (about £3.24 lol), their lowest was 13.96 Polish złoty... so this whole ''investigation'' is just a desperate attempt by the publisher to retain some of it's already rapidly declining number of investors. At this point Tyler probably has more money to fight a legal battle than Movie Games SA does lol
