Now, these games aren&#8217;t exactly one of a kind, and taking inspiration from popular games is one thing, but these were almost identical, with the original Backrooms developer pointing out that it was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/gallery\/big-scam-company-just-stole-whole-game-from-steam-ripped-sold-as-own-on-playstation-other-consoles-MRjOZTN\" target=\"_blank\">the exact game, just slightly darker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you ever see a game on the Nintendo eShop that seems surprising or you just don&#8217;t think it should be there, odds are it shouldn&#8217;t be.
