Pokémon & Zelda Rip-Off 'Pickmos' Removed From Steam As Publisher Intervenes

The Steam game Pickmos was removed after criticism that it closely resembled Pokémon and Zelda.

Publisher Networkgo stepped in to oversee revisions, and the developer said it will return only after approval.

The case shows how alleged copying can quickly trigger legal and reputational risk for a game.

It also underscores the pressure publishers face when major rights holders could take action.
