Developer sgthale sent a DMCA notice after a near-identical game with the same title, also called Family Time, was published on Steam.
A near-identical copycat version of the upcoming wolf colony sim Family Time has appeared on Steam, prompting the original developer sgthale to send a DMCA notice over the duplicate page.
The copycat, published by developer Hilly Games, is listed under the same Family Time title and is described as a 1-4 player co-op game about raising thousands of fox children with a fox mama. Its Steam page also reproduces the banner, description and layout of the genuine game, according to gamesradar.com.
Family Time, sgthale's wolf-based game about raising thousands of wolf children with a wolf partner, ranked 46th on Steam's most-wishlisted charts as of October 16, 2026, according to SteamDB. Steam asked sgthale whether it wanted the copycat removed, and the developer said yes, but is still awaiting a follow-up.
