This conspiracy theory appeals to my complete lack of trust for the world.

I feel like this was a coordinated marketing stunt. This developer is known to collect popular memes to release new post in imgur, and then after the posts get popular links to his game is added in for advertisement of the red button game.

Making a whole other game to promote mine seems way to complicated instead of actually marketing it. I have the DM’s from the other dev I can show them to you if you want.

Doesn’t mean you didn’t organize this with a developer, which is free marketing for him too. At this point, there is nothing that you could do or provide to convince me. I’m sorry if I’m wrong, but after the previous games marketing style as described, I do not trust you.

Yeah, I mean wouldn’t believe strangers on the internet so fair point.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with using some Imgur guerilla marketing to get some eyes on my game. I provide entertainment and the last post they can skip if they don’t care. But you can check my game on SteamDB, they extract Steam data. My game’s page was created in 2023 and this person’s page was created in May 2026. I found this on Steam and decide to make a post about it in hopes it would make some noise and we can resolve this so I don’t have be involved in legal battles and whatnot. The guy then contacted me, we talked and he agreed to change the name. That’s the order of events, but it’s okay if you don’t believe it : ) All the best!
