Steam Smash Hit SCHEDULE 1 Under Investigation by Publisher

In a recent update, Movie Games has clarified that there is currently no lawsuit against the developers of Schedule 1, despite initial reports suggesting otherwise. The confusion arose from translation errors regarding similarities between Schedule 1 and Drug Dealer Simulator. Movie Games indicated that they are investigating potential intellectual property concerns while assuring fans of their support for fellow game developers. This situation follows some backlash from the community toward both titles, which share themes of illegal substance production and sales. Drug Dealer Simulator, released in 2020, emphasizes a realistic approach, while Schedule 1 presents a more cartoonish, chaotic aesthetic.
