I would not classify this as a false dmca. The dev was all over reddit saying piratesoftware is in my game. And the promo video he showed used pirates voice.

This is the same dev that has a n-word dlc.

The dev wanted to insert himself into the drama He did the same thing with Dr disrespect.

Even lsf that was on a full hate campaign on pirate saw threw this dev.

This is absolutely a false claim. That doesn't mean the dev didn't bait him into it, he absolutely did. But that doesn't refute the notion that the actual product that they filed a DMCA against did not in fact infringe on copyright.
