SylverReZ-branded R4 cards go up for sale on AliExpress

A friend of mine has recently sent me a picture of one of my artworks used by some Chinese seller's R4 cards.

Here's a comparison between my original design and the Chinese knockoff:
They both look VERY identical to one another.

Thank you. For the artwork, no, I didn't get any credit. Would be nice if I did.

Still. That's pretty nifty. I can draw a little bit, nowhere near as good as you, but I would be stoked if I knew some kid out there was playing games with a cart that had my art on it.

Totally! I am very stoked too. I'm gonna try and pick one up for myself, and fingers crossed to see what it looks like when it arrives.

Just for some clarification, I did not contact anybody in China to authorise this as an actual cart. My designs were actually stolen by a manufacturer in China who is selling my artwork without my permission. And that's fine; I personally don't mind that, but it would be nice if the people gave me kickback for it.

China steals so much designs to make money from it It gaves them a bad reputation.

That's true. And there's nothing you can do about it, since there's no copyright infringement laws over there, meaning you don't get prosecuted.

It seems like they are being sold on eBay too. A quick warning to everyone out there: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GUY, this seller is straight up scamming people. He overprices cheap flashcards than what it was sold for originally. Best to avoid and buy cards for a cheaper price on eBay or AliExpress.
