Why do copycat games always keep being banned?

Text: Xiaosheng

Just past the 315 Consumer Protection Day, the news that broke out was more than one.

Happy to eat melon, I dodged the collapse of a certain Lun, dodged the brush list of online chat live broadcast, but I could not hide in order to cope with the sudden epidemic, hoarded a box of instant noodles, and I did not know whether to lose it or the pain of throwing it away.

Good guys, the old altar sauerkraut noodles, has always been the standard when I play games in Internet cafes.

But anyone who is a little older in children's shoes will definitely recall that the Internet café ten years ago was full of smoke and the smell of instant noodles.

This wave of memories killed with CCTV dad HD shooting of sauerkraut pictures, I have to say, is really sour.

Although the product quality problem is not a mainland feature, and there are profiteers all over the world, as a consumer who has been working hard to support domestic products, I often hear friends around me say this:

"This year, I would rather buy Putian goods than buy cottage goods, although the former is pirated, but at least the quality is guaranteed, the latter not only engages in plagiarism, but also does not know what SB sample it is copied!" There are many examples of crying and laughing, and I think you and I have been fortunate to have seen it in our lives.

But what I want to talk to you about today is not these cottage fakes that seem to be all wrong at first glance, but the copycat games that are getting worse and worse. Fast forward to March 10, 2022, when Hidetaka Miyazaki's new work "Elden's Ring of Law" is occupying the most popular game of this spring with the posture of fighting invincible hands all over the world.

On the other side of the APP STORE, there is also a game called "Eldon Ring".

Although it is only one word away, whether it is the game introduction or the game interface, it looks no different from the genuine old man ring.

"Explore the darkness and escape from Purgatory!" Huge map, vast world! Customize your gear and pull all the properties! Break through the cage and summon helpers! Kill Chaos, between life and death... It's all in the mobile game "Eldon Ring""

Unknown passers-by players with ecstasy point in, huh this circle of friends are playing the game so quickly shot out?

However after downloading and opening a look, this... Is there a half-cent relationship with the old man ring?

The familiar automatic pathfinding, hang-up upgrades, and the operation of playing two rounds to charge money to buy treasure boxes...

Looking back at the interface UI of "New God of War" on the official recommended map, the screenshot of the "Assassin's Creed Heroic Temple" game and the minimap of "Dark Immortal", it is really a "good tribute" to play!

However, this is not the only copycat "Eldon's Ring of Law" game, as long as you are willing to participate in matryoshka, you will also find many works such as "Eldon's Magic Ring", "Eldon's Soul" and many other works.

This setting that can be played by people over 12 years old really does not put miyazaki's old thief in his eyes!

Just as some people imitate my face and some people imitate my face, the degree of brain opening of cottage manufacturers is never limited to the situation that there are already finished products that can be compared.

Even if you just make a warm-up, we can pick up your ideas and make a complete version.

At the beginning of the year, the first popular foreign game, the domestic stand-alone game "Showa Mikoku Monogatari Monogatari", which is under development by Wuhan Suzuku Games, must be remembered by everyone?

The people of Neon Island hold high the ideological banner and directly colonize the beautiful country into the appearance of small cherry blossoms.

However, the more desperate will always be the cottage manufacturers who are on the front line of rubbing traffic.

You send a trailer, I send a finished game, 6 days later, the unaltered mobile game of the same name on the shelves APP STORE, brightened my titanium alloy dog eyes.

Well, I vaguely remember that this game was obviously called "Chariot Collision Zombie" ah, a makeover, I combed my hair into an adult look, and became 10086 times more than before.

But still, can not download to play, a play to find that the inside is still a primary school chicken, what is the difference between this and the 4399 I played when I was a child?

Although these games were removed at most a day or two after they were listed on the APP STORE, they were also very confusing:

Why are these cottages always tied to Apple? In fact, since the mainland game began to implement the version number policy, and made a series of illegal applications to the ios national service platform, the environment should be much better according to the reason, but why is there still such a hot cottage mobile game appearing?

Then we have to talk about the wild way used by mainland copycat game manufacturers, and the loopholes that have always existed in the Apple market.

First of all, most of the cottage domestic games

Often when a game becomes popular, it fills the market with god-like products in a short period of time.

They are almost all printed from a mold from the gameplay, screen performance, logo, and icon, and it is difficult for people to distinguish who is real and who is fake for a while.

Almost every time the game works that are out of the circle will be greeted by the cottage manufacturers.

The routine is also very sincere, what "free version", "sequel", "new work", or slightly changed a word or two, let you think oh may really be because the game is too hot, so the official new version to give back to the player, right?

It's just that this benefit gives me I don't want, even if I can never play Pokémon Go, I don't want such a spirit boy Jenny Turtle to appear on my phone!

Of course, there are also those who use a little brain to play innovative:

For example, "Plants vs. Zombies" was launched on fire, "Huluwa vs Youkai", anyway, the gameplay is not plagiarism, as for how much it looks like and what is it about our little gourd?

"Fruit Ninja" is tired of playing, welcome to come with me to cut the devils, to be a Chinese player who is red (no

And how does the frog son travel? Of course it's a jump trip! Charge you 30 to watch the frog show and jump, not too much, right?

Maybe seeing this, you will also think that these cottage games are very interesting, think that the manufacturer is a talent, the brain hole is so big.

It should be known that the copycat game has been skinned and "modified" code, and stability problems often occur. Once the game goes wrong, the developers will most likely run away.

If you can't polish your eyes, or think it doesn't matter if you play cottage, it's a waste of time to look at the advertisements in it, and it is really sad that you can't get it back with a lot of money!

Secondly, since Apple's review is mainly manual review,

It is not possible to fully accurately identify whether the other party has the problem of pirated copycats.

As long as you don't touch the categories specified in the APP STORE, such as pornographic and violent children, it is not difficult to pass Apple's review. And then brush the brush point brush brush evaluation, consumer keyword search, the results after seo is obvious, who will not from this dazzling game, mistakenly click a cottage model?

I was stunned that I couldn't find a genuine .jpg

PS. In fact, Apple has adopted a very strict way of managing app listing distribution, but until now, copycat apps that "copy" concepts and functions from other apps have always existed in the Apple App Store.

Some foreign program developers broke the news that the copycat App is a problem that Apple has not solved. The pirated copycat software that was finally removed from Apple's shelves only occupies a very small part.

Therefore, this may also be the reason why some copycat games in the mainland are keen to run in the APP STORE to make a wave of money in the short term.

PS. Friendly reminder to Windows gamers, this has become a new round of cottage game Petri dish.

——I am the dividing line against the copycat game ——

The previously mentioned are all copycat mobile games, what is the situation of console games?

As long as the businessman is profitable, he will never let go of any corner. Plagiarism borrows from the skin to play tired, direct copycat game platform have you ever seen?

We once published a special article like this, which specifically told how some lawbreakers in China made profits through the cottage platform.

Some are making fake links through keywords, tricking you into coming in and pointing out ads, downloading something unknown;

Some are directly made into phishing websites, so that you mistakenly think that it is the official website of the game, obtaining improper traffic and benefits;

There is a wave of even more powerful, yi hulu painting scoop with your entire Steam assistant, Epic assistant, click into the same as the official website almost a dime, but want to get the game given by the white, sorry not only no, you also have to be tricked into spending some money.

In fact, these cottage game platforms are just distributing the bad things of renting game accounts, buying steam sources with a share of money, playing one slaughtering another, wearing the coat of the cottage platform for a lifetime, doing pirated reproduction, which is really a great damage to excellent genuine games!

Above all, why are copycat games always banned?

Because the players who are constantly deceived bring traffic to the cottage game, these traffic can not only be monetized, but also full of huge profits, just as the so-called wildfires burn endlessly, the spring breeze blows and grows, and there are always people rushing to do this kind of thing.

Although after decades of development, domestic games have shown a more and more good trend, and more and more excellent works are being paid attention to by players and the industry.

However, as long as the cottage game does not stop rotting every day, it is difficult for us to get a healthy game environment for a day, and the word "game" itself can never be recognized correctly and objectively.

The above is today's game Bai Xiaosheng.
