[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] DeliverwarTH is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", thebank310/vajit, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/mfps-2-0-multiplayer-fps-101171]MFPS 2.0: Multiplayer FPS[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Lovatto Studio, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. [quote][b]Warning: Dead PVP Game[/b] This game has no meaningful single player content, and no playable PvP servers. There is no functioning PvP population, it's a dead game, and cannot be played as intended.[/quote] As a matter of fact, this asset flip only ever had 1 player at any given time, according to SteamDB. Which means this PvP only game has [b]never[/b] been played as a PvP game by anyone, ever. Because you need two people for that, and this game only ever had one. This is pretty amazing if you think about it. Someone paid $100 plus whatever MFPS 2.0 costs just to put a PvP game on Steam that never got played as a PvP game. It's also amazing because this is the first asset flip I've seen that's originated from Thailand. Way to go Thailand, putting your nation on the map for garbage pollution on Steam. Unfortunately, Russia, Brazil and China are still the winners for originating the most garbage on the platform. And this shouldn't be considered a race or a challenge, we have enough trash to wade through as it is. I feel a bit bad for indie devs having to try compete with all the pollution. But this is definitely pollution, and it gets worse... "MFPS 2.0: Multiplayer FPS" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from thebank310/vajit: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1391690]War Identity[/url]", asset flipped by PWNED Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1868120]Black Ace[/url]", asset flipped by Tuning Mania [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i] Because this is an almost exact 1:1 copy + paste of the original Unity asset, it's in violation of the [url=https://unity.com/legal/as-terms]Unity Asset Store Terms of Service and EULA[/url]. Specifically, Section 2, Subsection 2.2.1a: [quote][i]Subject to the restrictions set forth in this EULA, Licensor hereby grants to the END-USER a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, and perpetual license to the Asset solely:(a) to incorporate the Asset, [b]together with substantial, original content not obtained through the Unity Asset Store[/b], into an electronic application or digital media that has a purpose, features, and functions beyond the display, performance, distribution, or use of Assets ("Licensed Product") as an embedded component of that Licensed Product, [b]such that the Asset does not comprise a substantial portion of the Licensed Product[/b][/i][/quote] Because the developer misused the asset pack such that it comprises the vast majority of this "game", (with just a few other garbage assets from other packs from the store thrown in), the developer has unethically and deliberately breached the license agreement. Worse, this intellectual property violation was done in an attempt to profit from their illicit actions. Why is this permitted on Steam? The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "MFPS 2.0: Multiplayer FPS" is just a template to show people how to make a multiplayer FPS game in Unity, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from thebank310/vajit.
