[Amazon Appstore] PPSSPP Gold #17739

In the Amazon Appstore there's a free version of PPSSPP Gold 1.12.2, downloaded by thousands of people. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XN25R3N/

It surprised me that the Gold edition is free, but there were a lot of good reviews so I gave it a download, except there's a problem. When launching there's a quick dialog in the bottom of the screen referencing a piracy site.

So I ask, though I fear I already know the answer, is this a legitimate copy of PPSSPP Gold? And if not, will you have it taken down? In the best case people are getting an old version of PPSSPP Gold for free and in the worst case this is actually malware exfiltrating user data.

It is absolutely not a legitimate copy. I don't know how to get it down though :(

I contacted Amazon myself through their chat support and let them know about this issue. They said they'd investigate it.
