The following is a copy/paste of an email received by Freedom Games PR in late July 2022.
What has happened
An NFT/Crypto scam appeared yesterday on social media pretending to be publisher Freedom Games' and developer TRAGsoft’s modern monster tamer RPG, Coromon, but with supposed blockchain technology and promising NFT giveaways. This is patently false. There is absolutely no NFT or blockchain integration in the real Coromon or with any other titles from Freedom Games.
“Coromon (BSC)” illegally uses the real game’s assets and the trademarked name. The scam appears to use the face of CertiK, but at this time we are unsure of the validity of the relationship.
You might recall, a similar, but more egregious, situation happened earlier this year with another of Freedom's titles, Outerverse.
What we are doing
Freedom Games and TRAGsoft have been informing our community of the copycat and encourage them to report any associated accounts they see.
Likewise, Freedom Games has its legal team looking into any and all remedies and protections for the Coromon team.
What we will do
Freedom Games will continue to do everything within its power to protect the developers we support. Likewise, Freedom Games will always vigorously protect its copyright and trademarks, to safeguard our community to the best of our ability.
Public call to action
Please help spread the word to avoid this scam on social media or any other places it may appear. The real Coromon is only available on Steam, Epic Game Store, and Nintendo Switch, with no ties to NFTs, cryptocurrencies, or the blockchain whatsoever in any form.
The statement above is from Bryan Herren, Director of Marketing at Freedom Games. Please let us know if you have any further questions for their team about the ongoing situation.
