This has been making the rounds on social media already, but one of my oldest friends in the steampunk scene is a victim of art-theft here, so I do my part to spread the word.
An app developer apparently tries to cash in on Steampunk’s popularity and has developed some Steampunk-themed game which they have garnished with impressive artwork.
Artwork which is not theirs and which they failed to acquire permission to use for.
Take a look at this in-app image:
The artwork or likeness of the following people have been used without their permission:
pendragon1966
CatherinetteRings
Enkidi
Enkidi is responsible for this beautiful Steampunk Scientist:
Steampunk Scientist by Enkidi on deviantART
So please, spread the word around, this art-theft will not stand!
It would help to know the name of the company making the app. Does anyone know or have access to the app to tell us?
I´d like to stay informed if there are any news about this subject. I found minimum 2 more games at slotmedia google store with stolen graphics.
