遊戲只要一紅,就有可能在手遊平台發現類似的山寨版 App,就連粉絲自製的免費清版射擊遊戲《HoloCure》也難逃這個宿命。
根據開發者 Kay Yu 公告,近日有玩家回報在 Google Play 商店發現與《HoloCure》同名的山寨版 App,強調絕非開發團隊所推出,而且該 App 內含廣告內容,呼籲玩家千萬注意下載這類來路不明的 App。
[Caution!]

It has been reported that there is a mobile version of HoloCure found on the Google Play Store which contains ads. This is not by us. We are not developing a mobile version.
Please be careful about downloading potentially suspicious apps!
事實上,Google Play 或 App Store 上架審核向來一直是山寨開發者可鑽的漏洞,這類手法包含修改山寨對像的遊戲名稱一兩個字母或單字,又或者全名照抄上架但聲稱 App 是攻略(Guide)內容來混淆玩家,過去《糖豆人:終極淘汰賽》的「Fall Guys」以及《動物森友會》便有過類似被山寨的案歷。
