An incredibly blatant REPO ripoff has surfaced on the Nintendo Retailer, and it is received the kahunas to listing a Change 2 file measurement, which presumes the unlikely risk 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 accessible for buy on the Change 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 risk of inadvertently giving these jokers a sale, however I am going to say this, it was not arduous to seek out with a fast Google search.
The actual REPO is at present solely obtainable 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 good match to the REPO brand, to not point out a media gallery that appears prefer it’s comprised fully 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 consumers.
Ostensibly, the aim 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 instructed “they’re escalating the problem 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 measurement is listed as 1GB on each Change 1 and Change 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.
