alright I'll bite: The scam of copying someone elses game just because they refused your offer of buying it, since that's essentially what happened.

  It sounds like they implemented it from scratch, which means they simply beat him to market. I'm not sure what the issue is here.

    The issue is they stole the name. Had they made a clone under a different name, it would be fine.

    His game was already on the market

    They didn’t beat him to market, Worldbox had been out in the market before they even approached the dev about it or hiked the trademark. That’s why he believes it will be possible to invalidate their trademark.

    Worldbox had been in the market for 8 years. They stole the code (given the cloned app's appid is called Worldbox) and rejigged the sprites. Then tried to trademark "Worldbox" (which isn't the name of their game) with the plan to then change name and kick Worldbox off the store.

    Then why are they opening so many shell companies? what are they so afraid of? and why ex-workers say they do copyright infringements all the time? Look like they are not making it from scratch...
