A fake version of the critically acclaimed video game Blue Prince appeared on the Apple App Store and reached #8 in the Entertainment category before being removed.
Scammers created the fake version by using the same name, icon, screenshots, and description as the legitimate game on other platforms.
This is not an isolated incident, as several other popular games have been targeted by scammers on the App Store in the past.
Automated searching and analysis of game popularity could help identify and prevent such scams in the future.
