Indie FPS developer targets content creators who take undisclosed payments from rival developers and then dunk on his game: ‘You and I will have legal problems’

Connor Drake, the lead developer of Operation: Harsh Doorstop, expressed concerns about financial arrangements between content creators and game developers, particularly regarding undisclosed payments for favorable reviews. He warned creators that if they received over ,000 from competing studios in the past year and did not disclose this in their reviews, they could face legal repercussions. Drake clarified that he does not oppose negative reviews as long as they are transparent about financial ties. He accused some content creators of being compensated by Delta Force for positive coverage without following FTC guidelines, leading to backlash and admissions of undisclosed sponsorships. Drake highlighted a case where YouTuber Actman apologized for not disclosing a ,000 sponsorship for Delta Force coverage. He outlined potential legal actions against creators who fail to disclose financial relationships while producing negative comparisons to other titles. Operation: Harsh Doorstop, released in early access on Steam in 2023, has a 'Mostly Positive' rating from over 17,000 reviews but competes with established titles like Squad and Battlefield.
