Hilarious game plagairism

Majestic Studios' Limbo of the Lost steals items, settings, and style details directly from other games like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Diablo II, Unreal Tournament 2004, and others. And when I say "steals" I don't mean "look like" or "copies", I mean they ripped the items and scenes directly out of the other games and put them into theirs.

The screenshots are hilarious.

I wonder how they thought they'd possibly get away with it? THe publisher apparently claims they are shocked and appalled and had no idea.

Re: Hilarious game plagairism

What I want to hear is what Majestic Studio's reply to the publisher is. I doubt that Tri Synergy actually didn't know about the plagiarism, but I still want to hear whatever "response" is generated. It should be epic, heh heh.
