Sony Seemingly Forces Nintendo to Remove Rubbish The Last of Us Ripoff from Switch's Store

There is a shocking TLOU ripoff in the PlayStation sale right now 😂😂

Deal with your own store first Sony.

It should have been removed for being shovelware (which haunts all store fronts to be fair with Nintendo)

Good riddance. Digital Foundry showed the world everything it needed to know about this title.

Even if it wasn't trying to use The Last of Us similarities to get sales, it's just a trash game.

Thanks for playing the game Aaron so none of us have to suffer through it! Loved the video. Where is your accent from by the way? I like it.

Between this & War Gods Zeus of Child, which is on the MS store, Sony might as well go third-party.

I do wonder how much money these games actually make? It’s clearly is worth it to them.

They struck it down because it's secretly The Last of Us Part III

It certainly was their last hope, not anymore though

@Fight_Teza_Fight
I forgot about that game. That is hilarious.

There's a fine line between inspiration and imitation, and they crossed it.

@Sekijo Oh come now...let's give them a little credit: when you push a button on the controller, something happens. That means it has to be a video game right?

Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Steam should have better control over their stores because it is their own fault that there is a lot of trash games on their stores

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery... right

You would have thought that Nintendo, the masters of cease and desist would have done this of their own accord.

@tameshiyaku This is a 100% procent rippoff This goes a lot further then imitation.

@TheCollector316 They weren’t even trying to hide it. Kratos does have a ehm somewhat ‘unique’ look.

The Switch eshop makes the Steam Greenlight days look well curated

I watched Digital Foundry's video on it and couldn't believe how horrid it was. Good thing it was removed so nobody has to waste their money on it.

@Flaming_Kaiser I know, was just joking about this unflattering ripoff

I've got the game for 99p so no lose and even tho it's similar to the last of us, I don't remember the time travel plot in the last of us. Sony just mad their tlou pc port was s**t and 3 more people played this waste of space game than deformed, blurry Joel on the pc

Good to know.because sony is like Nintendo is making us looks bad with theyre crap game the last hope.word up son

I find that this is fairly common, especially in the mobile market, where untested developers rely on existing brands to push their own abysmal games. The Day Before is another, using a title that resembles Days Gone, and a typeface that conjures images of TLoU. It's deliberate. It also goes without saying that the developers are practically never competent, and usually just con artists.

Naughtydog so threatened by this game they had it shut down!

@Shepherd_Tallon I kinda wish I played for the joke now 😂

@get2sammyb I can’t find a UK store link but the game is Delivery from the Pain. Turkish link below:

@push, I am no expert but I think this line could have been worded better "due to its very obvious similarities to Naughty Dog’s flagship survival horror series".
The title in question had absolutely no similarities to that ND title you refer to other than the font and picture used on its store page.
Beyond that marketing there is no similarity.
Sorry to be pedantic, but this isn't a close approximation; its just a blatent con.
