Stolen ‘Cuphead’ game gets past App Review accompanied by faked developer website, appears to be one of many

<div class="feat-image"></div><p>Cuphead was a smash-hit game this year, with Studio MDHR releasing on Windows and Xbox. This morning, Cuphead appeared on the App Store with recognizable app icon, screenshots and branding. Except it is all fake. Whilst the game is actually somewhat playable, it is a stolen port of the desktop game and should not be downloaded. <strong>Update</strong>: The game is no longer available in the App Store.</p>
<p>The criminal who published it to the App Store also made a fake website as the support link, to confuse App Review in believing the game was legitimate. The game has yet to be pulled from the App Store, and sadly appears to be one of many cases from the same unscrupulous person.</p>
