    I didn't think it was legal to ignore a DMCA takedown request. Doesn't that put them on the hook of being sued?

    Not sure I follow, one is a Rampage clone and the other an idle game. They have very different names. The only thing similar seems to be that the PlayStore app has ads mimicking the other game (but different) - sad but not illegal.

    There doesn’t seem to be anything here which would actually justify a DMCA takedown. Am I missing something?
