Decorum - Stolen game

Decorum is originally a free student game from Isart that was stolen :

Post from the original students :

Original Real itch io page from isart :

Original trailer with Isart logo :

(I have the confirmation that this game is stolen by someone of my family who works on Isart School and the case have been reported by the Isart team).

The "dev" on steam just removed any posts signaling thievery ...

Valve are legally obliged to comply with any DMCA takedown request so we should expect to see this infringing game disappear soon.

Please do be careful about posting in discussion threads associated with games from toxic developers... they own the moderation for those threads and will gleefully ban people, which in turn can trigger an automatic Steam community ban. It's not worth letting these guys damage your own Steam presence.

Developers should not be allowed to moderate their own discussion forums... while this saves Valve a few dollars out of the billions they have, it's rife for abuse from bad acting developers hostile to the community.

Posted a message in the discussion forum asking what's going on.

We'll see how long it takes for my ban and thread deletion to take effect, then I'm posting to socials.

Hard to understand what they're saying in the imgur screenshot. Looks like a thread on the Decorum forum (although it's French, which makes sense since the school is based in Paris) but the forums are clear of anything, so the scammers might have wiped it already.

So GranCatSan (who's not showing a developer on Steam) says they're part of the team on the original project? And they're saying the school has the copyright and they don't like seeing the game on Steam (I'm assuming without their permission).

Yeah, if that's the case the University or IP owner should file a DMCA claim. Short of that we should report it and boost this so Steam does something.
