Among my last tactics to create valuable PC gaming news is to go on vacation – sure like the Buoc Billered Butter Down when the cat always lands on his feet, certainly like the number 13 reproduction and citizen star is committed to ensuring the delay, I will always go on vacation. somehowevoke a big story from the gaps. That is the basic physics. In this case, I went on vacation from Friday to Monday, and this fact and this fact seemed to have soothed a number of toy manufacturers to bring the most cherished Indie gaming platform of the offline internet by the “unreal” fraud report, sent by the brand protection software “AI” brand.
The situation has been resolved, fortunately, and you can access itch.io as usual, but I will never miss the opportunity to create shade on Funko Pop, whom I hate as I hate when I am Veruccas and Forest Fire. So this is a quick summary if you too, missed the movie.
The trouble starts on Sunday, when itch.io is mysterious offline. According to a post from the owner of the itch.io Leaf Corcoran on Bluesky (the relatively pristine brother of Twitter), the culprit is a scam report (for example, fraud on the Internet) automatically sending on behalf of Funko Pop.
“I am not a friend, itch.io was taken down by the funko of ‘Funko Pop’ because they used some brand protection software ‘who used’ who was named Shield brand created some unreal fraud reports for our registrar,” I hope all of you have a good Sunday night. “
Using my advanced journalist brain, I deduced from this statement that Corcoran is Are not There is a good Sunday night, and I really like itch.io online. He has a lot to say about news news, commenting that provocations for the Brandshield Report is probably a Funko Pop Fan project created by Itch.io.
“From what I can say, some have created a fan page for an existing Pop Funko video game (Funko Fusion), with links to the official website and screenshot of the game,” the message wrote. “Brandshield software is probably instructed to eliminate all their” illegal “use, so they have sent an independent report to our hosts and registered homeowners claiming to have” fraud and fraud “, which is likely to cause escalation instead of DMCA/stop working.
“About 5 or 6 days ago, I received these reports on our server (Linode) and from our registration company (iwantmyname),” the post continued. I expressed my frustration in my answers to both but told them that I deleted the page and disabled my account. Linode confirmed and closed the case. Suppose no one to finish “close” tickets, so it has entered an automated system to disable domain names after several days. “
Funko Pop jumped into action after these complaints. They seem to have clarified the situation with Iwantmyname, so itch.io returned to the web. They also agreed with the transfer of Corcoran for Brandshield, although they were more diplomatically about it.
“Recently, one of our brand protection partners has identified a page about imitating the Funko Fiodion Development website,” reading a Xitter post from last night. “A destructive request was made to solve this specific page. Funko did not require an @ithio platform and we were very happy when the site was backed up this morning. We contacted @ithio to join them on this issue and we appreciate the understanding of the gaming community when the details were determined.”
The real shocking person here, of course, is Funko Pop with fans. Who are you, and why do you crave for the background of popular entertainment characters with empty and cruel eyes like The Mariana Trench?
Not the swollen heads that are balanced on the top of the neck make you grimaced? Why do you allow such creatures to be near your child? And have you thought about plastic waste? Funko Pop recently delivered this $ 30 million of the Gnomes in this evil garden into the landfill. The image of it: somewhere in the world, thousands of disgusting disgusting in the shallow tomb, hidden from light by just a sparse layer of rubbish. Blooding of vampire or some nuclear isotopes in the wrong position, and who knows what can appear. We should deploy the alert of the hieroglyphic and sculpture of Khai Huyen near the burial site, to keep our children and grandchildren from knowing anything from us to stay.
Immediately and in reality, we can ask why some digital supervisors are easy to automatically automatically for an independent gaming community in a fan project, especially the fans’ projects that have a lot on itch.io. Hopefully it is once. Imagine if Sega has similar protection for Sonic.
