The studio defense
Games don't get stolen once.
They get stolen weekly.
A crack on launch day. A clone on the app store by month two. An asset flip selling your own store page art. This is the defense sequence studios run with us: timing, filings, sweeps, and monitoring for the resurface.
Business plan: 200 assets watched daily, 10 takedowns included monthly.
What theft looks like here
The defense sequence
Run in order. Each stage assumes the previous one happened.
Stage 1, Launch window
Cracks spread in the first 72 hours. Pre-configure store takedowns, brief us on assets, and file Urgent on first appearance, speed is the entire game.
Stage 2, Store & marketplace hygiene
Clones and asset flips on Steam, itch.io, app stores, and asset marketplaces. Rights flows pull listings; repeat filings terminate sellers.
What you can claim in a clone →Stage 3, Infrastructure filings
Warez and ROM sites behind proxies: host + registrar notices with search de-listing, the channels that work when the site itself ignores you.
Finding who hosts a pirate site →Stage 4, Resurface watch
Repacks return on new domains, typically within days. Daily monitoring catches them; included takedowns remove them without a purchase order.
How monitoring works →Stage 5, Escalation economics
Persistent networks get Complex-class treatment ($299, confirmed first): registrar repeat-infringer pressure, payment-network notices where the case supports them.
Stage 6, The legal track
When a clone or cheat operation is worth suing, clean takedown records become your evidence trail. We hand organized cases to counsel.
