A shoddy R.E.P.O. copy appeared in the PlayStation store.

Many games will be plagiarized by other developers, which is no longer new.Copycat games are emerging one after another, and they try to profit from popular games.Most of the time, people can see through these counterfeit goods at a glance, such as the unrealized copy of Animal Crossing.But this time the copy of "R.E.P.O." is very realistic and almost deceived some people.

R.E.P.O. was unexpectedly popular on Steam in March, so it's no surprise that someone saw the opportunity to make a profit from it.Since this game is only an early experience stage on Steam, console players are quite disappointed that they cannot play this novel cooperative horror game.Apparently, someone has noticed this.

Reddit user SamuelN0108 made an amazing discovery in the PlayStation store."R.E.P.O.: Horror" (R.E.P.O. Horror) became the number one on the popular game list, and its key promotional images are almost exactly the same as those of the original "R.E.P.O.".Naturally, people quickly became suspicious because there were no live demo videos or screenshots of the game, and it was made by a completely different developer.Some players were ready to buy it before they even realized something was wrong, but luckily it was only announced at the time and had not been officially released.

The game has been removed from the PlayStation store, but it is still worrying that it will be available at the beginning.This is mainly because part of the review work of the store is done by AI, and automatic inspection failed to detect this problem.Therefore, the store’s quality control is not done well, and things like this are often noticed only after players point it out.

Decorators like this are becoming a real problem, especially for indie games.Most developers simply don't have the time or money to fight them.Another game that unexpectedly became popular on Steam, Chained Together has been surrounded by cheap imitations like Chained to Eachother, and there is even a imitation on the console platform called Chained Climb Together.But in this example, the copy has actually been released, and the PlayStation store still hasn't taken it off the shelves.
