Candy Crush Saga publisher is taking down its alleged copycat game after indie calls it out

King isn’t admitting that it did anything wrong, but it has told GamesBeat that it will remove an alleged clone from its Royalgames.com website — although the Flash title is still available at this time.

Social-gaming publisher King plans to remove the Pac-Avoid to avoid the appearance that it was potentially infringing on another developer’s intellectual property. Yesterday, GamesBeat reported that the maker of mobile hits like Candy Crush Saga allegedly hired a small studio to explicitly copy a Flash game called Scamperghost.
