Edit, bonus panel! What scum.
You're viewing a single thread.
I’m very interested in what the offending page looked like. itch.io in the first reports seemed to suggest it was a false positive, without outright saying so. Both Funko and BrandShield are quiet about it, but between the lines you can infer they think the AI tool’s report was legitimate.
It looks like this is the one:
https://funkofusion.itch.io/funko-fusion
- It closely copies the branding of Funko Fusion by 10:10 Games.
- The title and account have been pulled.
Both match leafo's description:
[...] some person made a fan page for an existing Funko Pop video game (Funko Fusion), with links to the official site and screenshots of the game.
[...] I had removed the page and disabled the account.
