"We've submitted a complaint, and are optimistic that a resolution is coming soon! There's been no indication of what the file contents of the scam version actually are, and we certainly hope there's nothing malignant in the download. "Following our discovery of the scam yesterday, several individuals from Microsoft have reached out to us," Red Hook's Chris Bourassa told Eurogamer. The developer says Microsoft has been receptive to the matter and is doing its best to resolve it. UPDATE 9.53pm: Red Hook Studios is continuing to fight this thing tooth and nail. We also continue to review the content of our Store periodically as described in our recent blog post, as we work to deliver a great customer experience and provide fair and transparent developer policies and enforcement."
We take claims of intellectual property infringement seriously and review them in accordance with our standard procedures. "We are aware of recent claims of 'scam' or unauthorized versions of certain games being sold in the Windows Store. Here's Microsoft's official response on the matter: Mongoose Publishing's games continue to provide gamers with fantastic worlds in which to immerse themselves, and the company has become a recognised force in the world of hobby games.UPDATE 5.30pm: The counterfeit version of Darkest Dungeon has been removed from the Windows Store. Mongoose's largest licenced roleplaying game, Traveller, brings back the classic science fiction roleplaying game. Further licensed products followed with roleplaying games based on Slaine, Babylon 5, Conan, Lone Wolf, Sea of Thieves, Paranoia and Runequest.
Mongoose has earned a reputation for producing quality licensed products to sit alongside their generic fantasy ranges and their first licensed book, the Judge Dredd roleplaying game, proved to be an instant hit. Subsequent product lines followed in rapid succession with the release of the Encyclopaedia Arcane, Travellers Tales, Quintessential and Cities of Fantasy series of books. Initially concentrating on d20 based products, Mongoose Publishing's first book was the Slayers Guide to Hobgoblins, part of the Slayers Guide series of books. Based in Swindon, UK, Mongoose Publishing was founded in 2001 and within 6 months became the UK’s largest publisher of roleplaying games.
