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

@stux

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 I dont think that is the same company 😉

@freemo **officially at least

Would not be surprised if that was also a lie

@stux @freemo

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

@elijah

For my curiosity can you tell me which domain name, specifically, you are checking?
