Dispute

There is an ongoing dispute as to who originally came up with the original game concept for Droplitz as an individual provided evidence that they came up with a very similar game concept over one year before the release of Droplitz and attempted to pitch it to the same game studio, Blitz Games Studios, which would then go on to produce the Droplitz game.[23]
