Why was Blupi replaced by Eggbert

tytbone Dec 17, 2017

Was Blupi changed to Eggbert for the eGames-published versions so that Epsitec retained the full legal rights to the Blupi name, or something like that?

BlupiGames Replying to @tytbone and @epsitec

AFAIK, Epsitec SA retains the rights to the Blupi name. But I'm just a developer, only @epsitec knows exactly the answer of this question.

eGames didn’t like the name Blupi and thought that Eggbert would be a better choice for the US market. And yes, Epsitec SA is indeed the owner of the name Blupi

Spyware

CD-ROM discs by eGames contain spyware named "timesink".

"timesink" should not be harmful, especially on a modern pc, but can be annoying (maybe the high usage CPU and RAM).

Spyware may be trying to contact a server, which now no more exists.

The goal of this spyware is to deliver advertisements on the infected computer.

"timesink" creates some files on the computer, where it is installed.
