Attack of the Clones: How to Deal with Clones, Cheats, and Illegal Mods
Every game that gains traction eventually attracts imitators. A clone in the app store with a similar name, hacked versions of the game, unlicensed skins for a fraction of the official price. These are your real revenue leaks. On March 26, Futura Digital and Xsolla will host a joint webinar exploring how intellectual property protection actually works in the gaming industry: when to take action, where to start, and why a well-placed platform complaint can be more effective than a costly lawsuit.
Legal perspective — Futura Digital
Where does inspiration end and infringement begin? A breakdown of clone mechanics, cheat software, and unauthorized mods — with real case studies across jurisdictions. We'll cover trademark protection, copyright, platform takedowns, and the cases that defined how courts think about game IP today.
Practical insights — Xsolla
How Xsolla vets projects at onboarding: compliance procedures, brand, name, and content rights verification. A real case study — a project arrived with a character that clearly infringed Nintendo/TPC rights. We'll also cover what signals raise red flags on the platform side, and why clean compliance protects not just the IP owner, but the platform itself.
