Kairosoft is the company that has made the insanely addicting management sims Game Dev Story and…well a lot of titles ending in “Story.” This past weekend they took to their facebook page to give their fans an update.
Pocket Academy and Game Dev Story developer Kairosoft has accused Beijing Shi Jun, its publisher in China, of stealing code and violating contract terms.
A Chinese company... stealing IP from another company?!!?!
Well that's just.... unbelievable!!!

Kairosoft is a Japanese video game developer located in Tokyo, founded in 1996. Until 2016, they have released over 40 simulation games for mobile available in English. During my recent hunt for great demos on the Nintendo Switch, I came across several games by Kairosoft and fell in love. Since November 2019, you can play select beloved titles as demos for free, or purchase the full versions on the Switch for approximately $17 USD (or less) each.
A look at why Kairosoft are so awesome and why Kairosoft is not just a company but a genre in itself.
