My sons have got me in playing Schedule 1. It’s an indie game, drug-dealing kingpin-building style. Developed by one guy, it’s getting rave reviews and a huge following in the short time since its release.

I saw a friend playing that and am looking to pick it up. Just heard the devs who made Drug Dealer Simulator are trying to sue the guy for copyright infringement, but it looks to be a pretty flimsy case to me. Most of what they seem to be citing as instances are pretty generic things not like, unique mechanics or actual art assets or anything.

It looks like the Drug Dealer Simulator publishers are just investigating at this point. Meanwhile, they are getting massively review-bombed in Steam by fans of Schedule 1.
Apparently there are a few small similarities, but c’mon, you can’t sue on the cause that it’s the same genre of game.

ahh, I'd heard they'd filed something. And I totally agree, could you imagine if From sued every successful soulslike? Ridiculous. I'm not generally in favor of review bombing for stuff like that but it's hard not to feel like they asked for this one.

For anyone with PS5 Plus Extra or XBox Ultimate, Blue Prince will be free on those services on Thursday. I've played the demo and it's incredible. It's a first person, puzzle, Roguelite, mystery game about exploring an ever changing house. Each "run" is a day, but you unravel more of the mystery about the house each day that acts as meta progress.

Khazan: The First Berserker is really good. Very difficult combat but definitely gives the same thrill as when you defeat a FromSoft boss fight.

Just read about this today! It has great reviews.
I think it’s great that’s these small, independent game studios are putting out amazing games.
