Knockoffs. "Inspired By". The serial numbers filed off. I'm sure everyone has a term for this; when a second class product tries to pass itself as the intended target, in spite of obviously flawed workpersonship or being obviously shoddily made as a cash grab.

I've found that GOG has a problem with picking the Also-Ran instead of the Pedigree. And I know that can't always be helped, but sometimes the choices seem to be blatant favoritism or missing on purpose.

For example:
Balatro, the zany draw poker game where you can introduce new rules.

The suspicious substitute? GOG's team shrugged and said, "Solitaire is a card game, right?"

The timing, if not on purpose, did feel a little insulting.

Next up: Goat Simulator. The intentionally bad wacky physics game.

The bad substitute? A clucking cockup of a junglefowl game that looks like it stole all the assets that could be found in the Unity store.

And it goes on like this.

You want Euro Truck Simulator/American Truck Simulator? Too bad, here's a single US State; mixed reviews.

These of course, aren't all bad, but we typically give those more positive monikers like "spiritual successor". This thread isn't about those.

What, wait !?!

The gog forums support emoji's now?

No, not really. I typed in the raw XML entry, which is a string like Ampersand Hash/pound/number sign numbers semicolon.

We have emojis at home...

Always has, but you have to use the XML codes:

guess i missed out on that one, thanks for bringin it up

Okay, fine. I suppose junglefowl was a bit of an obtuse reference, but seeing as the game has no releases on any other stores, I'm making my judgement on appearance alone.

It's Chicken Ops: Strike Team. Some might compare oranges to apples, but I think it's just a heavy weapons chaos simulator.
