We are Lake Country Games LLC, the studio being publicly accused of copying Fish with Friends. We’d like to set the record straight with documented evidence. October 5, 2026: SteamDB first recorded our game, Fish With Friends (App ID 5393000). October 6, 2026: SteamDB first recorded Black Sea Studios’ game (App ID 5398190). October 9, 2026: Black Sea Studios published a blog announcement mentioning its fishing game. October 16, 2026: We privately provided dated development evidence to Black Sea Studios. Their representative acknowledged our evidence, admitted they had jumped to conclusions, apologized, and agreed to remove public accusations. Their representative explicitly stated: “I agree that your proof is undeniable since we have not posted anything publically prior to that date.” Despite this resolution, posts labeling our game an “exact replica” and “AI SLOP” continue circulating, resulting in people directly contacting us with accusations of theft. We developed our game independently. We did not steal or copy Black Sea Studios’ work. Our Steam page simply received approval later. Being publicly listed first does not mean another developer copied your game. We have formally requested removal and correction of these allegations. We wish both studios success, but we will defend our work and reputation against unsupported accusations.
