Originally Published 2 months ago — by Eurogamer
GSC Game World issued a DMCA takedown against the co-op survival horror game Misery, claiming copyright infringement, which led to the game's removal from Steam. The Misery developer denied copying from Stalker 2 and argued the game is a distinct, original work, though some evidence suggests asset similarities. The developer apologized for offensive comments made in private, and the situation highlights tensions between small developers and large studios over intellectual property.
