GameStop has since confirmed that the person behind NiFTy Arcade has been suspended, but Ars reports that he is still"holding onto the tends of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency he made by selling those NFTs before the suspension". Furthermore, the unlicensed games are also still fully accessible from GameStop's servers.
Ello insists the games were taken from"open source game repositories approved for commercial use" and that one of the games, Galatic Wars, had an"unlicensed" tag, but Ars was able to discover that Worm Nom Nom's license, for example, clearly prohibited commercial use. Ello has since confirmed that they"never sought the necessary permission from the original creators before selling them".
"I've been working on video games for years, but VolcanoBytes is not something I do for money," de Tena added."It's my personal project... something I do mainly for love, my income is not that of a real business. But that's my work, and [it] shouldn't be exploited by anyone without my permission."
