The submission represents 'Don VS Dodo', a verified Munich-based game studio with significant government funding (~€2.5M for 'Industry Giant 4.0'). However, the specific project 'GoldenStone' is undefined in public records, and the submission contains critical credibility issues, such as the false claim that 'most people have used my product' and an unrealistic 'everyone' audience target. While the studio is operational and funded, their primary release has received mixed-to-negative reviews, suggesting struggles with product-market fit.
