Name Change to Breaking Survivors

As some might have noticed, the game was delisted from Steam for the last couple weeks and is now back there under the new name Breaking Survivors. The name change was also applied everywhere, including here on itch.

So, what happened ?

I won’t go much in detail with the legal stuff but here are the rough events of the last few weeks :

• Game received a DMCA takedown for copyright infringement on Steam
• Steam unlisted the game from their store (standard procedure, they have to do it preventively)
• Discussions with my lawyer and the other party
• DMCA takedown got replaced with a trademark infringement
• I changed the name of the game to comply
• Steam relisted the game as everything was fine now

Basically, the old name (Breakout Survivors) was causing issues as “Breakout” is trademarked and I had to remove that from the game’s title.
So, the game is now called Breaking Survivors and everything is fine now.
