The controversy over unlicensed Schedule 1 clones

The video game industry continues to surprise us with its dynamism, and this time, the explosion of popularity of the game Schedule 1 has captured the attention of thousands of players. Since its launch, the title developed by the TVGS team has accumulated over 450,000 concurrent players on Steam, generating great interest in the community. The game’s mechanics, which simulate the creation of an empire in drug trafficking, have resonated so much that unofficial clones of the game have begun to appear in the PlayStation store.

Killing it

These clones, which seek to capitalize on the success of Schedule 1, do not have the authorization of their developers. Tyler1, the leader of the game’s development, has confirmed in a post on X that these titles are not affiliated with him in any way. The emergence of these copies has provoked mixed reactions in the community, which has quickly expressed its discontent. Amid this situation, MOVIE GAMES S.A. has initiated an investigation to verify possible copyright infringements related to the unauthorized versions, an action that has been perceived by players as a defense against unfair competition.

Despite the controversy, the developers of Schedule 1 have plans to expand the experience beyond the PC realm. Tyler1 has expressed his desire to bring the game to consoles in the future. However, a specific date for this release has not yet been set. While the community is eagerly awaiting more information on this, the announcement underscores the development team’s commitment to staying in touch with their followers.

Meanwhile, the Drug Dealer Simulator saga from MOVIE GAMES S.A. has received a wave of negative reviews following the start of the investigation, highlighting the tension between the developers and their competitors in the market. Undoubtedly, the situation has left the gaming community eager about the future of Schedule 1 and its potential on new platforms.
