Schedule 1 debuted in March and has quickly come to be one of Steam's biggest indie success stories, with a co-op, open-world simulation of the drug-dealing life that's really caught on with players. It appears the Polish publisher behind Drug Dealer Simulator is none-too-happy with that success, and reports have begun to circulate that the company is investigating Schedule 1 for copyright infringement – which, of course, has now sparked a massive review bomb against those older games.
An apparent press release from Movie Games S.A., which publishes Drug Dealer Simulator, went up on the Polish Press Agency's business and economics site last week, as spotted by Insider Gaming. Via machine translation, the press release says a legal consultant has advised the company that Schedule 1 may mark a "potential infringement" of the Drug Dealer Simulator intellectual property.
