Hi,
|
|
|
|
Tonight, someone on my server:
|
|
|
|
1. Stated that he was receiving popup ads and videos during play
|
|
2. Mentioned that he was using a tablet and received the game via Google Play
|
|
3. Stated that he was going to buy a laptop so he could "purchase the full game"
|
|
|
|
But, most importantly,
|
|
|
|
HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF MINETEST!
|
|
|
|
He thought he was playing Minecraft!
|
|
|
|
I took a quick glance at Google Play and there is a lot of stuff there relating to Minecraft. Perhaps one of them is an illegally rebranded Minetest.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone run into this scam?
|

Sure it wasn't multicraft?

|

Or Cartooncraft?

I asked him if the game went under either of those names, and he said it wasn't, it was called "Minecraft"
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Aptoide"...
|
|
But when i remember he says is from "Google Play" i don't know...
|
|
i don't know, anyways that's ILLEGAL and i don't know from where that app come...
|
|
Or in an alternative case:
|
|
-The "Google Play" isn't the official one, it's a FAKE "Google Play"...
|
|
|
|
I don't think someone can be so innocent to don't realize it's a fake "MineCraft", anyways (without want to offend someone) he should be a
|
|
casual user, or a little kid (maybe) and probably he don't know so much about the Internet and the risks of downloading some
|
|
"Minecrafts"...
|
|
If he wants to play Minecraft (ok, better play Minetest) he should buy it at the real Google Play!
|
|
Or he wants to test a beta, that's other way to play it, but that betas, normally have many bugs and problems!
