Overview
- Networkgo removed Pickmos' Steam store page and said it will supervise PocketGame's work on the project.
- PocketGame said it is revising the game to deliver a "controversy-free experience" and will only re-release after the publisher's approval.
- Networkgo said it is gathering information on accusations that the game used stolen art and said it is reaching out to an impacted artist.
- The game, first revealed as Pickmon, drew coverage and player complaints that its creatures looked like Pokémon and its hero resembled Link from Breath of the Wild.
- With the listing down and oversight in place, the previously signaled 2027 window now looks uncertain, underscoring how publishers move quickly to limit IP risk on major storefronts.
