Also, little warning for gamers out there ⚠️
The new game "Paradise" that seems too good to be true is a massive scam
The game itself is a massive red flag and the company behind it does not excist
They are out on selling crypto and gathering personal data
Just be warned..
I shall list some of the flags:
- Using Epic logo while there is no partnership (what they imply over and over)
- Parts from the trailer are straight from the GTA6 trailer
- There is NO partnership with influencers
- A few weeks ago the site was all about a crypto project but was scrubbed (thanks Archive)
- The company is no where to be found and the address incorrect
- Focus on NFT/Crypto before ever showing gameplay
- Trailers are copies from various popular games, like GTA6
🇳🇱
Seems you made some mistakes. I cant speak to all the points but just did some research ont he company out of curiosity. They appear to exist, and the USA division was formed in 1988 and have sold games ever since then. The company that made paradise is their Hong Kong office. They have made tons of famous games.
@freemo **officially at least
Would not be surprised if that was also a lie
A quick check shows that the domain name was registered in September and the website appears to be hosted by godaddy.de.
It's all a lie. The claimed publisher rolled up into their parent company in 1992, or they're a small game developer in Estonia, or a defunct British online retailer. The pages claiming they're a multi-national read like AI junk and include gibberish like a HK address that doesn't list them.
a 5-minute dig and it's obviously fishy - or should I say phishy
@stux I went and looked on Steam, where paradis is pushed, and followed who steam lists as the publisher, which is UltraGames and a very reputable publisher... So im kinda confused, what company website are you talking about?
@freemo But thats the thing with Steam, anyone can make up any company name and if it's not EA or Sony they often get away with it 😉
For steam you dont have to have an official company, just make up something
@stux UltraGames HK is the Hong Kong branch of Ultragames which is a Konami subsidiary.. Basicaly the guys who built the original NES and SNES and many of its games. Most of them wouldnt be on steam though as they are all retro games from the 90s.
@stux That may be, though if they can just make up a big company name like UltraGames. To give you some context UltraGames are the guys who published all the famous retro SNES games and before. So they are **very** well known.
That said im not disagreeing with you, im just curious. Do you have any links so i can dig a little deeper, im curious now.
@freemo Oh i bet! 
But this game is not related, 100%

Checkout my points, i don't know 
@stux Your points are valid, im just trying to confirm them. What was the website, maybe that will help me make sense of it.
Im sure your right, i mean there were enopugh other red flags of course.
@stux Thanks that gave me everything I need.
@freemo I dont think that is the same company 😉
