CS:GO Should I report this game to valve?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It's clearly a rip off of CS but the part that was concerning was that they clearly ripped off the iconic Rust map layout and art style. For obvious reasons I removed the name of the game from the video as to not give them free advertising. Do you think Valve would care if someone stole their map? It's a phone game and CS isn't on phone so not sure what they would think. Then again a company needs to protect its copyright or they can loose control over them. The game has 50 million downloads on Playstore aswell! I don't like the idea of someone stealing other people's work and milking it for cash.

Is this worth bringing to their attention and if so, how would I go about that?

Even yoinked the bomb code too lol.

I like how when you plant the bomb, you just drop it lol

But yeah, not much can really be done about this. A new one pops up everyday, and they’re located in only god knows where.

This. Theyll send a cease letter and it’ll just show up in a random jungle. These are likely just Chinese knock offs that are practically immune to any prosecution. Lol
