In bussiness we have something called a unique selling point or USP for short. tycoon games are genre of games and like other genres, they tend to take certain concepts. However, these games all have a USP for example the game dev story is pixelated whereas game dev tycoon is 3d making them inherently different and they both have a different game play flow, however a lot of game dev tycoon's concept is being used in series maker and they add very little unuque concpet thus it has no USP and is a 'rip off' however i personally don't care because i love GDT and i don't loose anything from games copying eachother.
An example of USP is call of duty and battlefield. both are very popular first person shooters but battlefield is known for their large battles and intense combat whereas COD is known for its smaller multiplayer and good story
While I do hate people always saying "this is a ripoff of Game Dev Tycoon"... it actually is the case here. Not every game tycoon is a ripoff of GDT. They weren't the first and would never be the last. However, Series Makers is a complete ripoff of Game Dev Tycoon and there is no denying it. There literally are messages in the game that pop up that have the exact same text as Game Dev Tycoon. The messages are about GAMES while Series Makers is about SERIES.
