    Ever actually looked up a game with the key words Crash or Physics? More than half of them come up with images of BeamNG. Its so funny how they have "fake" ratings of the game saying, "oh it looks just like the real game". When the game itself is so bad that they look like a 15 year old made the game. Not only are the images and logo of the game stolen from BeamNG, they are stolen from Youtube content creators. I don't really know if this is a big crime or if its something that they can or need to sue over, but its absolutely hilarious to see them try to get the fame BeamNG has... Besides, nobody would download a crashing game without knowing about BeamNG.
    If you want to see these hilarious dumbtards just go on to the playstore, or appstore and search: Crash Game, or Physics driving, etc

    This is nothing to get worked up about, I thought it was worth sharing to let everyone know, that they think that they can get away with this without someone noticing.

    LMAO That is hilarious... They are probably some kids who think they can get money from downloads. I feel bad for the people that actually downloaded it... xD

    IKR and then they will make you pay for every option, function and content in the game.

    I know.... I was debating sending the devs an email, but I doubt that they would learn anything new from it.

    This probably makes the dev's feel better TBH because they know that people clickbait with their game as a good game itself... xD

    Its just people trying to make a quick buck off the game, quite honestly I would get in contact with Google and Apple to make sure no games like that appeared on their respective Play and App stores, but that would be a perfect world to be honest, but I do have a laugh about it because all of those games are full of crap and they dont work like the real mccoy BeamNG Drive which no phone or console could EVER run!

    Often times they use the Unity engine and a plugin that gives it """""softbody physics"""""

    You can help us take them down if you install the apps and find out if they actually use our content or just a fake thumbnail :)

    Thanks. Reported one right now, lets see...

    Yeah lets see how many you can take down, I mean I saw one where it got massive negative reviews and then someone gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said all the negative reviews were coming from just one person using multiple accounts....
