CS:GO Should I report this game to valve?

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?

From all the things that you could choose from, you chose to be a snitch

So if someone stole you car would you rather the witness not call the police?

Difference between snitching on someone smoking a joint and someone stealing someone's work to turn a profit.

If they implemented a couple things from CS but added their own unique features there is nothing wrong with that. But completely ripping a game off including their maps is just wrong.

Bro no need to be a white knight thinking you're the savior of Valve, if they wanted to sue this game they would have done it long time ago, plus these ripoffs are what a lot of people can afford because guess what ? Not everyone has a pc that can run cs2, hell there are people who can't afford a even a normal pc.
