Red Hook Studios today has brought an illegal Windows Store seller to light.
Balaji Chowdary is listed as the creator and vendor on games like Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Farming Simulator 2015 and Red Hook’s own Darkest Dungeon on Windows 8.1’s Windows Store.
Chowdary’s illegal clones are offered for a substantially lower price — Darkest Dungeon was $3.99 USD compared to the game’s normal $19.99 USD price tag, but the game’s are suspiciously small as well, with your purchase unlocking a 2MB download.
Red Hook Studios is now working with Microsoft to address the infringements.
Thx for all the help re: DarkestDungeon and the Windows Game Store. We have a ticket open & several helpful MSFT people are shepherding it.
