I was curious and went on steam. This guy just rips off games. He's "cloned" 3 separate games, all of which just seem like shitty versions of the original. Barely even changes the titles.

That's a game of legal Russian roulette I wouldn't want to play. Eventually he's going to rip off the wrong person, and in the meantime all his victims have the option of sitting on their claims (SOL notwithstanding) to find out if he ever makes any money.
