The game's designer, Richard La Ruina, and his development team, had filed a DMCA takedown request against a video commenting on the game by YouTuber IAmPattyJack (real name Chris Hodgkinson) on the grounds of copyright infringement, despite it coming under fair-use. La Ruina also criticized Hodgkinson for having suggested in his video that people should be themselves when conversing with women, as opposed to the pick-up artist tactics seen in the game.
Before Hodgkinson knew that YouTube had accepted La Ruina's video strike against him and removed the video, La Ruina apologized to him and sent $50 as compensation for any loss of revenue, however Hodgkinson declined to accept and refunded it. La Ruina later told Polygon "I’m not going to hide that I don’t like this guy, [sic] But if somebody wants to make a negative video, they’re very welcome and we won’t DMCA it. I don’t believe in that." Hodgkinson's video would eventually return.
