A popular fan-made Superman demo isജ being sold on👍 Steam after being "stolen" from its creator.
Back in 2021, we wrote about an impressive Superman demo m🍬ade using Unreal Engin♔e 5. Developed by Tyson Butler-Boschma, the project was something of a test for what a modern Superman game might look and play like. Footage showed the superhero soaring gracefully through the skies, a stunning city laid out beneath him, making us more eager than ever for a new fully-fledged Superman ga🦩me.
Earlier this year, Butler-Boschma built upon this idea and made a playable version based in the same city as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询ܫ:The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine🏅 5 Experience. Much to the delight of Superman fans,⛄ this was released on itch.io for free under the name "A Superman Style Flight Experience (UE5)".
But here's where the story gets dark. In a recent twee🐟t, the developer claims that someone has stolen his Superman demo and is selling it on Steam. "I made this for fun to show what could be made!" says Butler-Boschma, adding, "This i💧s a scam!"
Someone has 💎put my Superman demo up and steam and is selling♕ it as a full price game!!! I made this for fun to show what could be made!This is a scam! The demo is free on Itch! Please retweet and report this crap! @DCComics @valvesoftware //t.co/IpuC6qceo3
To make matters worse, the developer says the scammers are now making copyright claims against him on Valve's platform and YouTube. In a tweet earlier today, Butler-Boschma posted an image of the copyright strike he'd received from YouTube, saying that the fraudsters are "straight up attacking and harassing me at this point and I don't feel safe pro🤡viding my personal information for a c💧ounter claim". In a follow-up tweet, he wrote, "I am at a complete loss at this point. Steam has done nothing and now I feel the same will happen with YouTube."

The game Butler-Boschma says is his stolen demo is titled Heroes City Superman Edition and launched on Steam on November 1. A review writ෴ten by Butler-Boschma, which gives his side of the story, received a response from the Hero Game Studios, the company credited with creating Heroes City Superman Edition. Not only does it deny that the game is stolen, but it claims that Butler-Boschma is "ꦓone of the former developers" who left the project "a long time ago".
Butler-Boschma's modern Superman 🍨experience can ꦅstill be enjoyed for free over on his .

Originally from Ireland, I moved to the UK in 2014 to pursue a Games Journalism and PR degree at Staffordshire University. Following that, I've freelanced for GamesMaster, Games TM, Official🔴 PlayStation Magazine and, more recentl🐬y, Play and GamesRadar+. My love of gaming sprang from successfully defeating that first Goomba in Super Mario Bros on the NES. These days, PlayStation is my jam. When not gaming or writing, I can usually be found scouring the internet for anything Tomb Raider related to add to my out of control memorabilia collection.
