Schedule 1 Faces Copyright Investigation While Gaining Steam Popularity

Movie Games SA is investigating the indie hit for alleged similarities to its Drug Dealer Simulator series, as the game receives a major beta update.

Movie Games SA has launched an investigation into Schedule 1, citing potential copyright infringement related to plot, mechanics, and user interface similarities with its Drug Dealer Simulator series.
No lawsuit has been filed against Schedule 1, with the matter currently limited to the investigation stage as legal analyses continue.
Schedule 1 developer Tyler confirmed receiving positive feedback from Movie Games SA prior to the investigation but has had no communication since its initiation.
Fans of Schedule 1 have reacted strongly, launching a review bombing campaign against Drug Dealer Simulator titles on Steam, accusing Movie Games SA of targeting a successful indie developer.
Despite the controversy, Schedule 1 remains a top title on Steam and has released its first major beta patch, introducing new features like a boutique store and pawn shop.
