Hah, I love bad chinese knockoffs of consoles. If I ever get rich I think I'm going to buy a bunch of them just for the awesomeness factor
I can forgive minor typos in articles, but really, right in the headline?
Its gamespot, remember they lost all their good editors.
Just because I don't see others mentioning it, they also stole most of the sounds. Many of them come straight from Thief:The Dark Project (the first Thief game).
This sure makes the industry look bad.
Gamespot and their typo'd headlines; Just Adventure publishing a review with screenshots and comments which make it clear they wouldn't recognize a major release if it hit them in the face; millions of indie developers who desperately want their games published exasperated and depressed that these idiots somehow got by...

this is so funny and surprising... I think it might make gamers news story of the year (BU remember to do a poll at the end of the year!).
the one big question in my head though is did these guys plan this from the start with deliberate intentions to steal content from various games to help them make their own *hit* game, knowing they would be breaking laws doing so.. hoping to make a good amount of money and then disapear retiring on what they made (laughable plan?). Or are they actually just older, and quite dim where copyright law is concerned and didn't realise that the way they were making their game was in fact illegal and could result in the media storm and possible (should I say probable) lawsuits?
so, deliberate, or dumb?
it's a lot of work... and a big risk...
how many people would attempt such a thing and try and get away with it if they knew what they were doing? creating a game is a very public thing.
lol... unbelievable.. this is all legit, the kent messenger is one of the many Kent region newspapers (Kent is a region in the south east corner of england, uk). I come from Kent myself, and the town of Maidstone where they are from is about an hour away from me by train/car.
One of their comments sums up this whole affair and how it's turning out lol
I don't know where to begin These are Kent men and being one of them, I feel a little ashamed lol.. however, their original intentions remain to be discovered. They asked for it though.. it was ineviteble.
Speaking as a local, these men look local to the Kent region, especially the medway area, I can imagine what their accents are like, these guys aren't posh, these are common men who go to the pub - but obviously have a hidden geek side to them with the desire to create a smash hit games title
they do look a little english gangster though, especially the 2 on the right, you would think they'd be smiling more than that. Harmless? Conmen? Gangsters? one, a mixture, or all?
If I was one of them I'd be ****ting myself, especially if I had been that dim not to have known about copyright laws and had put in all that hard work (if you can call it that). Fleeing the country.. hmmm.. depends if they have the balls and expertise to just vanish into thin air. Perhaps Spain, or somewhere in south america lol
no buying should take place, stolen copyrighted works means the game has no platform to stand on (illegal) so feel free to seek the game for free. Insanity to suggest people should buy this game... people should not profit from media boosted popularity (for the wrong reasons).
I'm sure they are all aware of what's going on.. you can be anywhere in the world to follow what's going on though, they do not have to be at home.. they could be on "vacation" lol.
lol, very surprised seeing that, poking fun at themselves, yeah we all need to make a joke out of it I guess. It doesn't look very good for the games industry though. Gaming is about being innovative and is a message that should be strongly pushed and promoted more so than the piracy these guys have managed to pull off.

Well, if you're interested in discussing this matter directly with the developers, one of them exhibited his savvy by posting his email address in the following forum thread:

hmm.. I could use some lawyer friends
my own law knowledge is limited to minor
sorry if anyone has already said it but i'm not reading 5 pages...
Maybe this game is the gaming equivalent of 'Airplane/Top Secret' & is so bad it's good?
* if this turns out to be their defence hit me up on PM to find out where to send the cheque

ah yes, you fall into the lacking of knowledge and wasting your money category
it's so bad it's good it's bad.
Hey its better to steal a good idea than to come up with a bad one but damn there is limit. I'm also suprised this game is British for a minute I thought this was the work of some obscure Chinese company that makes knockoff games.
Some court hearings (I've heard of several infringment proceed as such) can take place w/o the defendant(s) present. 99% of the time the result is a default judgement for the plaintiff.
The only thing that would make it harder is if LoL team got or has been operating w/ false IDs, closed bank accounts, and left the country. This possibility, granted the huge success of this game while it was on shelves, is pretty low imo.

Make sure you turn on 8x anti aliasing, you wouldn't want any jaggies on your pixelated 800x600 backgrounds.
