Same as with Minerals when they had to stop using the Starcraft graphics.

Is this the official coin for the video game's company called "unreal" ? No

Or is this some kind of cyber squatting? someone trying to use their company's name and logo illegally? Yes

The magnitude of the error appears to have dawned upon the dev, the coin is being re-positioned as “URCcoin” https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-urccoin-urc-scrypt-no-preipo-c-cex-1000669 but the wallet code hasn't been updated yet.

Cheers

Allright, thanks for the information. I'm not going to invest in the unreal coin.

At first, I thought the unreal coin cryptocurrency was developed by the video game company.

FYI, the "unreal company" is was "Epic Megagames" now "Epic games", they basically own a large (estimated to be 70% a couple of years ago, hopefully about ~50% right now) share of the whole game development industry by providing the (arguably) most badass game engine possible at a cost comparable to a off-the-shelf video game.

As far as I can tell UnrealCoint (URC) does not seem to use a known logo I recognize. Terrible idea of the developer to use this name. I would honestly NOT touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Is it illegal? Most certainly not, for at least some nations.
