Starsector copyright infringing "game"(?)
« on: August 14, 2024, 03:24:27 AM »

https://gavin6666.itch.io/craftpunk

This link was shared on Corvus Spaceport for what appears to be a video game/NFT scam that rips vanilla and modded starsector assets and uses them wholesale.
Wasn't sure how to reach Alex so I just posted it here.
Hopefully it will receive a CnD or smth. Most of the stolen sprites are from FOSSIC so the person behind it may be in china, which could make enforcing copyright harder.

Jeez! Thank you for letting me know, wow. The "trailer" looks to me like just straight up modded starsector footage, while their download is only 35 mb...

Yeah I haven't downloaded their thing because considering it's NFT nonsense, it will probably give you a virus.
I assume you will take it down?

35mb? Sounds like a crypto miner.

99% of crypto games are trash anyway
