My two cents is that The Mobile Version should at least put the notice in their app description, and a popup when you first join after the add said update adding the notice saying something like 'this game is not the original version, it is an unofficial version that contains separate content, by clicking you agree, you are confirming you understand this is not the original product(by Jason Rohrer), but a separate entity's implementation'

To add the words 'unofficial' to the title of a game is a really harsh counterbalance, especially because of the potential audience that was showcased in the demo's download count. It gives a stigma to the title that is detrimental to the publisher's reputation that it produces official, well-made works(even if this is not the case).

The lack of response on the Mobile Version's devs is not a good thing, they should be eager to fix a critical miscommunication, and while Jason may be pushing hard, he has stated after receiving an initial pre-noted quota, he would be willing to negotiate it things went sour on the monetary end. I don't see an issue, but that might just be me

for all that legal stuff, I'd wager Jason can argue against the translation company for the error if it was purely translation, but i'd imagine it's fairly hard to just miss something that says 'this is unoffical' in comparison and testing. but who knows where that fault lies rn.
