Emergency statement
Hello everyone,
Sorry to have to communicate with you in this way. Many of you may have already noticed that Giantess Playground is now available on Steam.
The current situation is that the other party has completely disregarded the objections in my lawyer’s letter and insisted on continuing their infringing actions by releasing the game on Steam. They have also maliciously taken all the revenue from both Steam and Epic!
I hope everyone can understand the current circumstances. I am still working hard to resolve this issue through legal channels.
Thank you all for your support.

Have you made any progress against Micah? Or is he still in control of your work? EDIT: Come on man, at least keep us updated on your status
Do you have any latest updates? We are still waiting. Obviously, the other party's theft behavior is very shameful, but don't forget that Steam and I, as comrades, still insist on protecting the legitimate rights of creators and still support your rights protection. One person's power is limited, so please seek more support. I previously sold 5700x consoles in Xianyu and encountered someone who got a knife in 2023. Someone pointed at a computer case fan that I gave away for free and demanded a refund for the loud noise. They also said that I am not a novice, I just don't know how to install CPUs. They joked that their own page had several hosts, so they either refunded me 200 or sent it back to me. They showed me the reason for the refund and demanded that I refund the shipping fee. They joked that the shipping fee was free of charge. Later, I posted it on Baidu Tieba, and a group of people helped me with it. Some text messages bombarded them, some added friends on WeChat to greet their ancestors, and in the end, I also got back the price of my sold products. For the first time, I realized the power of netizens
Hey, I'm sorry about this fraudulent situation, that's messed up. On another note, is this game planned to have a truly stereoscopic VR function and a sandbox mode?
Will the Epic version still be updated?
I have totally no access to epic/steam now… how can I update the game…
so the ones on steam and epic won't help or support you then?
I heard the news from other Gts communities, very sad to hear. I sincerely hope you and your lawyer find a resolution, I have also seen someone on youtube cover it on a yputubr short video "JustSaySteven", seems like a lot of people stand with you in the comments. ❤️
**You deserve to have your work protected.** I’m really sorry that you’re having to deal with someone taking your game IP and putting it on major storefronts like Steam and the Epic Games Store. Seeing your own work being used by someone else like that must be incredibly frustrating. Please don’t give up. Make sure you preserve **every piece of evidence** that can establish your ownership and the history of your work: original source files, development builds, design documents, artwork, project files, repository history, timestamps, contracts, emails, and anything else showing that you created the IP. Some practical things you can do: * Keep multiple backups of all your evidence. * Take screenshots and save the URLs of the unauthorized Steam and Epic pages. * Document the dates, publisher information, descriptions, artwork, and other material being used. * Use Steam’s and Epic’s official copyright/IP infringement procedures. * If you have registered copyrights or trademarks, include that documentation. * Gather any contracts or agreements with collaborators that establish ownership. * Consider consulting an intellectual-property lawyer, especially if the unauthorized release is generating revenue. * Avoid harassment or threats. Keep everything focused on the evidence and legitimate legal/platform procedures. * If you speak publicly about the situation, stick to facts that you can substantiate. Most importantly, **don’t let this discourage you from defending your work.** You created this IP, and you deserve to have control over your own creation. I sincerely hope you can get this resolved and have your IP returned to you. Keep documenting everything, keep pushing the proper channels, and don’t give up. **Your work is worth fighting for.**
This is so bull crap.. i just want to play the game and people have to ruin this kind of stuff. This isn’t fair for the original creator nor is it ok to sell the game on steam
bool
at least they are giving you free PR. I found out about this game because I saw a YouTube short covering this situation. I just became a member to get the game here.
You will win I believe in you and we people will fight for you
Maybe it'd be worth writing an email directly to GabeN? He's known to sporadically reply... and is really down to Earth. Worth a shot, at least.
Do you have an email in order to contact you ? I would like to help.

Please file something with steam. If they know it's a legal dispute they most likely won't sell the game. I also might review bomb it so I can tell people it's stolen.
I refunded the game stating that you didn't say you were okay with the release then added a link to the X profile. Not much but better than nothing if you ask me.
report it to steam as stolen property and tell them there's an ongoing legal investigation. By Law Steam are not permitted to sell the game if it's under investigation. I have reported it myself, but you must file a Copyright claim as the owner.
Wow, this guy is really just being a b**ch, isn’t he? Is there anything we can do on our end aside from not buying it? Maybe leave a shitty review? Report it to steam as stolen content? Cause this isn’t right, at all!
For now, the least we can do is spread this info to our friends to not buy the game
Hey! I’m really sorry you’re having to deal with all of this right now. I know I said I’d wait to buy the game until you have control of the Steam page, but I just wanted to say that I’m still rooting for you. ❤️
Keep pushing with your lawers and get their advice on EVERYTHING! You dont wanna put yourself in a pickle because the other lawer uses something you post recently to dig at you. Wish the best luck to you and SUE THE LIFE out of this guy.
Yeah, that's fucked up. I wait to come in steam for so long and buy before see this post. Now I have to refund and wait for new update for you. Hope you have a great news soon
Thanks.. im trying my best
I reported the game on Steam about your issue.
Thanks… even though I guess steam won’t do anything…
Pitiful. What was the original plan btw?
I’m still working with my lawyer
That's fucked up :/
