Game Devs Cite Cloning Risk for Playtest Halt
20 Oct
Summary
- Playtest canceled due to concerns about game cloning.
- Studio fears reverse-engineering before official launch.
- Demand for stronger platform protections for developers.
Digital Sun announced the cancellation of ReVamp's initial playtest, a decision stemming from mounting concerns within the industry.
The studio cited a recent trend where games are being reverse-engineered and their clones released before the original titles even launch.
With ReVamp's release several months away, Digital Sun deemed sharing an early build with tens of thousands of players an unacceptable risk.
The company also voiced a desire for gaming platforms to enhance security measures, thereby safeguarding original creations and empowering developers of all sizes to share their work earlier in the development cycle.
