01 / Overview
What the PlayVortex dispute concerns
ScriptNovaa and our partner MassAttack raised concerns about possible copying of Roblox-related avatar assets and game content on PlayVortex.io. We contacted Vortex’s published email address, Roblox’s copyright contact, the domain registrar and identified service providers.
This is ScriptNovaa’s account of that correspondence. It is not a court filing, judgment or finding that Vortex infringed copyright. “Vortex Lawsuit” is the title of this public update about a dispute that may lead to future litigation.
Which site is involved?
The notices concern playvortex.io, also referred to here as PlayVortex or Vortex. They do not establish that vortex.io is the same operator or has any involvement. Similarly named websites and unrelated businesses are outside this record.
02 / Reported concerns
Potential issues raised for review
These are concerns about specific content and permissions, not a list of established violations. The reviewed public pages do not establish the origin of underlying asset files, source code or licenses.
Asset origin unresolved
Avatar models, character textures and faces
The notices question whether Vortex uses protected Roblox-related character models, textures or face assets without permission. A block-shaped avatar or a common face expression by itself does not establish that an asset was copied. We asked the operator to identify the source and permission for the questioned content.
Vortex catalog · 120 listing names inventoried, including 46 face listings. An exact Super Super Happy Face match was not established.
Earlier comparison corrected
The Crossbridges and Crossroads
The original report compared Vortex’s The Crossbridges with Roblox’s Crossroads. Subsequent review showed different layouts in their currently published thumbnails. We withdrew that comparison as evidence of infringement and sent the correction to the recipients of the report. The earlier description of Crossroads as an island divided by colored bridges was inaccurate.
MassAttack and ScriptNovaa raised a concern about similarities to Roblox games, including Arsenal. Our public-page review did not establish an Arsenal asset or code match. Arsenal is credited to ROLVe, so the rights in particular game content must be considered separately from Roblox’s own assets.
These pages were included in the notice for review of map artwork and assets. No exact protected-asset match was established. The supplied Roblox HQ comparison page is a user reupload crediting GFink; its existence does not establish Roblox ownership of every component or copying by Vortex.
The notices request removal of any protected code or assets used without permission, including in gameplay. The public-page review did not inspect or compare source code. Common genres, mechanics and broad game ideas were not established as copied protected material.
No copied text identified
Forum design and content
A concern was also raised about the Vortex forum. Its use of Discourse and familiar forum layouts does not establish copied Roblox forum content. No specific copied forum text was established in this review. We have not posted accusations through the personal ddev account.
03 / Evidence record
Corrections stay visible
Accuracy matters when asking an operator or provider to act. The Crossroads comparison was corrected in messages to Vortex, Roblox, Cloudflare, OVH, Namecheap, hCaptcha and Resend. The broader concerns remain reported, but the withdrawn comparison should not be used as proof of a copied map.
Limits of this review
The review covered descriptions of 18 game pages linked from the Vortex home page, catalog listing names, and selected visuals. It was not an audit of every asset, a code inspection, or an adjudication of ownership. We do not claim to have identified “all copying items.” No provider response in this record establishes infringement.
Supporting correspondence is retained by ScriptNovaa. Private personal information, passwords and account-security records are not published here. Requests for specific evidence or corrections can be sent to legal@scriptnovaa.com.
04 / Timeline
How the correspondence developed
Roblox, Vortex and Namecheap contacted
ScriptNovaa sent the initial review request to Roblox’s copyright contact, notified Vortex at vortex.tvp@gmail.com and contacted Namecheap. Vortex later received a demand with an October 10, 5 p.m. Eastern response deadline.
Cloudflare forwarded the report
Cloudflare’s automated response confirmed forwarding report c73b1621d1d5ee5a to the website owner and hosting provider, identifying OVH SAS as the host. Forwarding was not a determination of infringement. Resend and hCaptcha also received review requests.
The Crossroads comparison was withdrawn as evidence
After further review, ScriptNovaa corrected the map comparison. The final notice identified the questioned pages, requested asset-source and permission information, and preserved the October 10 response deadline. Roblox received the updated record.
Existing tickets used for follow-up
Roblox directed correspondence to its existing ticket. ScriptNovaa requested that its IP team contact Vortex directly. hCaptcha said the evidence did not establish an actionable violation involving its service and later closed its case after recording the correction.
Providers asked to help reach the operator
ScriptNovaa asked Brian at Resend, hCaptcha, Namecheap, Cloudflare and OVH to forward an urgent message. Providers were asked to review continued service under their policies and share publicly disclosable business or legal-notice contact information.
Begin today; respond by October 7
A revised notice demanded that Vortex begin addressing the concerns October 5 and provide a substantive response by October 7 at 5 p.m. Eastern. Delivery to Vortex was confirmed by the sending mailbox. Providers were sent the new deadline for their forwarding requests.

Said it does not host the content and the information did not establish a service-policy violation. Recorded the correction and closed the ticket. We subsequently requested reopening for forwarding assistance and policy review.
Resend
Correspondence with Brian
Brian clarified that Resend provides email delivery and does not host the website content. We requested forwarding assistance and policy review.
A receipt confirmation, ticket number or forwarded report is not a ruling against Vortex. Google is not listed as having made an enforcement decision because no verified decision is recorded here.
06 / Revised demand
The response ScriptNovaa requested
Requested substantive response
October 7, 2026 5:00 p.m. Eastern
The revised notice replaces October 10. It requests acknowledgement and the start of corrective review on October 5. These are ScriptNovaa’s requested deadlines, not court-imposed dates.
Acknowledge receipt. Identify the person responsible for handling the notices and the correct legal or business contact.
Begin reviewing the questioned content. Examine the avatar assets and content on the listed game and catalog pages.
Explain origin and permissions. Provide a substantive response describing the source and permissions for the questioned assets.
Address unauthorized material. Remove any protected material used without permission and explain the steps taken.
Preserve relevant records. Retain source files, licensing documentation and relevant correspondence while the dispute is unresolved.
Respond by email. Send the acknowledgement and substantive response to legal@scriptnovaa.com.
Providers have separately been asked to review whether continued service complies with their policies and suspend or discontinue service if their review establishes a violation. They have also been asked for public business contacts, legal-notice addresses, public server information and formal disclosure procedures.
07 / Potential legal action
What may happen next
ScriptNovaa has told Vortex and the contacted providers that this matter is urgent and may involve legal action. If Vortex does not respond by the requested deadline, ScriptNovaa intends to consider further escalation with MassAttack and appropriate legal advice.
No lawsuit, court order, pending litigation or legal representation has been established in this public record. We do not state that Roblox has agreed to sue, that Vortex is legally required to reply to a message, or that silence proves infringement. Any future filing or confirmed enforcement decision would require a separate, dated update.
Roblox and other rights owners control their own enforcement decisions. A formal infringement notice must be supported by the specific works, locations and authority required for that process. See the U.S. Copyright Office’s notice-and-takedown guidance.
08 / Questions
Clear answers about the dispute
Has a Vortex lawsuit been filed?
No filed lawsuit is recorded here as of October 5, 2026. This page documents the dispute and possible future legal action.
Is this an official Roblox notice?
No. This page is published by ScriptNovaa. Roblox was contacted and asked to address the operator directly. ScriptNovaa does not publish this page as Roblox’s official statement.
Did Vortex copy Arsenal or Super Super Happy Face?
The concern was raised, but no exact asset or code match was established in the recorded review. Those claims should not be presented as proven findings.
Why was the Crossroads comparison corrected?
The earlier description did not match Roblox’s current Crossroads page. The published map thumbnails have different layouts. ScriptNovaa corrected the recipients’ records rather than continuing to rely on inaccurate evidence.
Is vortex.io part of this dispute?
The notices identify playvortex.io. No involvement of vortex.io or another similarly named operator has been established.
How can Vortex respond or request a correction?
Send a response, licensing information, identification of the responsible contact, or a specific correction to legal@scriptnovaa.com. Include the relevant page URL and the statement being addressed.
How can community members help?
Join ScriptNovaa’s Discord for discussion and updates. If you have specific asset-origin evidence, send source URLs and a clear explanation privately to the legal mailbox. Avoid repeated messages, harassment, personal-information collection or presenting unverified allegations as facts.
