Is this the official coin for the video game's company called "unreal" ?

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

Let me know if Unreal coin is legit so I can invest in it.

They are not called Unreal, it's Epic Games

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.

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.

The magnitude of the error appears to have dawned upon the dev, the coin is being re-positioned as “URCcoin” https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000669.0 but the wallet code hasn't been updated yet.
