🔸 Hello GDCy People! 🔸

We keep bringing new tools and opportunities to our community — and today we have another exciting one.

Together with our friends at Futura Digital, a law firm that works with game and IT studios, we're introducing Futura Pulse — a new tool designed to help protect your games, brands, and hard work 🛡

What does Pulse do?
🔵 Detects unauthorized copies of your games in app stores
🔵 Finds cheats and builds that bypass protection
🔵 Tracks illegal trading of accounts and in-game items
🔵 Spots unauthorized merchandise using your brand
🔵 Monitors trademarks across different countries

And the best part? Futura's lawyers review the findings, handle takedowns, and keep monitoring for new violations.

‼ SPECIAL OFFER FOR GDCy RESIDENTS! ‼

🔵 FREE custom report on your game
🔵 FREE 30-minute strategy call with Futura Digital lawyers
🔵10% OFF your Pulse subscription for as long as it remains active

Making games is hard enough. Protecting them shouldn't be another boss fight!
So if you've ever wondered who's copying your game or making money from your IP, now's a great time to find out.

Get your free report and early access here 🌟
