I paid good money for this Dynex!
What would be illegal about it?

Time for Miyazaki to invade their base of operations as a BP.

You should report the app to google and/or Facebook for copyright violation, they will remove it.

...Seriously?
Using someone else's property to mislead people and advertise it as yours?

...You thought every single person on GAF has played Dark Souls?
SMH. Shameful shit.
You thought THOSE were screenshots from some mobile game noone has ever heard of?

How?

Considering how much GAF likes to talk about it... =P
But seriously, there's no way a mobile game would look like that. It's pretty obvious it's not an actual image of the game either way.
EDIT: And based on the editing of the post I quoted, it seems that he actually did know it was from Dark Souls lol.

Sorry, I've never played Dark Souls before
Yep. Not only should it be illegal, it is. Straight up copyright violation.
As hard as it is to believe, a lot of people on GAF do not play mobile games and have no idea what they look like. I had no clue what I was looking at in the OP either.

Close enough!
I think even that is a lie...

There should be a banning penalty from the marketplace after pulling shit like this. Seriously.
That looks actually looks better than that Dark Souls shot.

That's actually not too hard to believe. I mean, I don't play mobile games, either. =P
EDIT: As evidenced by Infinity Blade III. That's quite impressive.

You'd be suprised at how good mobile games can be graphic wise now.
I couldn't tell what was wrong with the image either, having not played Dark Souls.
And plenty of mobile games look as good as that, if not better
Lmao.

That animation quality is pathetic. Jesus.
Everytime I see these games I wonder, who the fuck plays this shit?
Question is legitimate if you don't recognize the game.

I see this shit on Facebook all the time - commonly with lifted Dead Space screenshots. I too have questioned how this happens. Are they hoping to use it for as long as possible before getting a cease and desist?

And neither did I. I had no idea what was wrong with the OP.

Me either.
Seriously it's not that obvious if you don't pay attention to mobile games or dark souls.
It's not even that obvious if you do pay some attention to mobile games,as illustrated by the pic of Infinity Blade 2

Pfft, 4 stars and 159000 people playing, they think we'll believe anything.

They probably stole the fanart, too.

Totally. There's no way this game got anything less than five stars. Not to mention the fact that 159,000 players would never be enough to pay for their plagiarism budgets.

LOL at least they went to the effort of doing a paint-over and didn't just copy/paste. Kudos. I think?
