The submission contains significant user errors (e.g., Project Name listed as 'WhisperHunter' instead of 'Legendary Play', traction claimed as 'most people'). However, external verification confirms 'Legendary Play' is a legitimate, Series-A funded mobile game studio (backed by BITKRAFT) with over 1 million downloads for its flagship title 'RIVALS'. While the submission quality is extremely poor, the project's actual real-world traction (funding + user base) drives a high underlying score.
