Plagiarism Scandal
This was an issue Worldbox encountered in late 2020; it is no longer an issue for the game.
Info
"The fight for WorldBox, or how a game you worked on for 8 years may be stolen from you without you even knowing it" - Maxim
"In November 2020, Maxim reported that a shell company known as Stavrio LTD copied WorldBox after he refused to let them buy it at a DevGAMM conference the previous year, and attempted to trademark the name. This resulted in Maxim attempting to get Google Play to take action against the company by starting the hashtag "#saveworldbox"."
