Zombi Drop South Park - Tshirt Booth are you aware???

DigiChain

Hi, I've not kept up-to-date with happenings here for a while but I've just spotted this app and wanted to check Tshirt is involved with this (as its clearly Tshirts game with South Park characters!).

oh dear me, looks like another case of game theft to me. His other app is a copy of running wild game i am sure

SlickZero

Wow, that's just flat out insulting. I wonder how Apple let it get by with a South Park character in it…not to mention his blatant theft of Zombie Drop. Another classic case of bottom feeders at work.

FFS! How many people do this? Grrr. Looks like his other game the Karl Pilkington Idiot Abroad game is from Darren's Running Wild, in fairness this could be a bought template but blatantly doesn't have permission to use the characters he is using!

DigiChain

I'm glad I flagged this up.
GS should also ban this guy for good!

ultima

the man with the pistols has spoke! sounds like a blood-bath is about to happen.

GLGAMES

omg, ripped off?? This sounds terribly frightening to us all.
Are our files safe at all?

GLGAMES

i hope we can find the culprit soon. else all our effort has gone down the drain.

@tshirtbooth - did you get my email last week about the guy trying to sell me stuff? tiny balls amongst other things?

Apple is pretty negligent if they let someone post something that's obvious copyright in the first place being South Park.
People come to GS wanting to make games and they can't even do it.

Money Hungry and no passion. This is pathetic.

the guys name is christopher dalby beware! ... whats weird is Pom posted on deep blue apps page (one of his table template ones) ... the other game by this game seems to rip off another one of his templates.

LumpApps

Perhaps you should write South Parks producers. I bet they have better lawyers

jonmulcahy

I really want to know what happens after target acquired.

EinsteinApps

Sad to see for sure, doesn't deep blue apps sell the complete game for Running Wild though? Regardless, it's obvious he cracked Zombie Drop as I have the actual template and it doesn't have the same art work as the official release by TSB.

SAZ_1

I think at target acquired point they ask you to remove/modify the copyright material, then if you don't they probably delete your account... i think the rest is up to the copyright person to sue... that said will this guy still get money for the apps that have already sold with this template?

This is disgusting, I think we should show no mercy, and not allow them publishing privileges anymore

MotherHoose

he gives his name as: Christopher Dalby … but, wonder if he is using his real name!

as the WebSite link names: P2 Games, LTD and link does not work
and the Support Links to a legit Design Company's homePage (not a mail/contact site)

and, in this I fault iTunesConnect for not protecting consumers by verifying links! (takes all of 2 seconds!)

So Comedy Central ripped off your game, lol. thats amazing to me sue them and South park creators.

Seen this on Yahoo a few days ago about game being ripped off.

He also ripped off DBA's running wild: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/an-idiot-abroad-the-game/id488694097?mt=8
I hate these copycat developers so much!!! If you were so smart as to find away to reverse energy the app why wouldn't you bloody change the art at least!!
I HATE copycat dev's

Hope you get it ironed out @tishirtbooth. Nothing better to start your weekend off like a slap in the face.

mithrawept

Oh my god, they killed decency, creativity and honesty! Apple must do something about this.

zombieaddict

lame and pathetic.

calvin9403

sad...

and BTW SSS can you announce the theft username?

wonder who is P2 Games Ltd?

quantumsheep

@calvin

Unfortunately, because some sort of legal action is usually involved, names can't be given out (that's what I was told anyway).

Very sad to see this happening. On a bright note, the same guy uploaded a 'Peppa Pig' game which has been taken down (as it infringes on copyright).

This blatant stealing is atrocious, lazy and pathetic.

calvin9403

so GS did you banned the guy?

LeonardDeveloper

STOP THE COPYCAT DEVELOPERS GS BLOCK THERE IP'S MAKE IT THAT YOU MUST HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCOUNT TO DOWNLOAD THE CREATOR!

The_Gamesalad_Guru

I wonder how this person set up a nontracable payment method as Apple should be able to get his identity via his bank account they would be putting the money into.

BBEnk

I wonder if Comedy Central and the SouthPark creators know about this I'm sure they have the resources to bring down a world of hurt on a small time developer stealing there trademarks.

calvin9403

@leonard I don't think that will help, people can use proxy

and the sad thing is I want to post a review but I don't want to give the dev a penny

DigiChain

Don't wish to rub salt into old wounds - but this is still on the app store, how can that be!?

Someone needs to contact comedy central and get this guy into some serious !@#$% with the big boys!
