Game is called "Game of Kings:The Blood Throne" (sic) and is using your assets in this ad

Considering the level of work they put into that mess of a photoshop (what is even happening with Egypt and Scandinavia??) I think it's safe to assume the assets are being used unlawfully without your permission.

Sorry if this is not the ideal place for the thread, but I figured it was faster than emailing your legal department.

You can tell by looking at West Africa, definitely Eu4 or extremely similar eu4 inspired. Either way it is obviously Paradox content.

Yeah it's clearly the EU4 map, you can still see the coastlines of Scandinavia and the Isles where they tried to color everything blue to look like open water.

I wasn't entirely sure at first, but it's the nation colours which justifies what you said. Good job allfath3r - it's kind of you to take the time to show them.

Thanks. To be fair though, /u/Not_Lumi on Reddit is the one who took the screenshot, I just posted here because it didn't look anyone had yet and it would probably be seen by PDS quicker.

@TinyWiking, @BjornB, @Castellon you'll probably want to take a look at this.

The image is definitely stolen, but I can't find it on their store page. Thank to fellow paradoxians like you who report stolen assets used for a horrible pay to win mobile "strategy" game.

I just tried reverse image searching it on google, and the only results are I'm able to find are a bunch of Russian twitter accounts and a couple Russian boards, with links to this image, which appears to be the same image overlaid with Cyrllic text.

But that picture appears to be advertising for a game called King of Avalon.

And here's another one with the game title in Cyrllic

Thanks for posting this. I've reported it to our legal department.

Sorry I'm a bit paranoid, but could you use an official, paltypus marking thread, account for that statement ?

 

[Ulfing]

There should be somewhere we can report this crime against photoshoping as well. That repeating outline of Scotland is genuinely offensive.

Yep (lol), I agree with you.

How about now?

I was not able to edit the previous post as I didn't have the correct forum permissions when that was posted but my future posts will look like this when necessary.

You can trust the platypus avatar

Theyre all dev-gods.

There actually was a bug two years ago which allowed some poeple to sport the platypus icons despite being normal forumites. That's the reason that the platypus icon got a note stating that if you use it without authorisation you are breaking the rules.

Using Platypus without being a dev-god?

Heresy!

Is true though. That was some fun days until that bug was fixed---or rather until it was fixed for some and that warning about using them being infraction worthy was put up, since they couldn't fix the bug for everybody and at least madchemist had access to every single avatar, including all PI and PDS ones, until the new forum happened.

Man. Id kill for that avatar
