OUR METHODOLOGY
Case inclusion criteria
We document what happened and make clear which questions remain unanswered.
01 / Find the original
Record the earliest verifiable public date, creator, and original link. Chronology is context; it does not alone prove copying.
02 / Identify exactly what was copied
Compare text, visuals, assets, and game design separately, with specific observations and sources. Shared mechanics, genre conventions, and independently created similarities are not automatically copying.
03 / Record AI information independently
Distinguish confirmed use, self-reported use, unknown involvement, and evidence of no use. Uncertainty about tools does not erase verified copying evidence.
04 / Review, responses, and corrections
Submissions are never automatically published. The maintainer checks sources, comparisons, and responses. New evidence can change findings; updates retain a correction history, and records may be withdrawn.
