They've cloned Resident Evil ![[image loading]](http://media01.gameloft.com/products/721/default/web/iphone-games/screenshots/screen002.jpg) Soul Calibur ![[image loading]](http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/029/Purple/db/ad/0d/mzl.etdypmyf.320x480-75.jpg) Halo ![[image loading]](http://gourmetzocker.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/nova_iphone_screen_04.png) GTA ![[image loading]](http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r30/Purple/b3/a5/45/mzl.jricgetc.480x480-75.jpg) Call of Duty ![[image loading]](http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/005/Purple/d6/b5/35/mzl.crmjylnz.320x480-75.jpg) Guitar Hero ![[image loading]](http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/053/Purple/ed/da/38/mzl.xdjqvjhc.320x480-75.jpg) Uncharted ![[image loading]](http://i54.tinypic.com/o03q0k.jpg) Pokemon ![[image loading]](http://a.yfrog.com/img337/6863/fxk0.jpg) and a ton of other popular IPs as well. They're The Asylum of videogames, trying to cash in on the ideas and success of others on platforms where these brands aren't represented (mostly iOS). I guess it was only a matter of time before those parasites moved in on Starcraft. :/ | ||

I don't know whether they recreate these likenesses on their own, or just take the art assets from other games and modify them in such a way that they still remain recognisable, but are juuust different enough not to get them into a lawsuit. It's pretty despicable, really. :/ | ||

It's pretty despicable, really. :/ What's so despicable about it? Is it any different from the millions of other products that get ripped off and cloned on a daily basis? It's not like they're seriously trying to pass this off as a real competitive product anyway. | ||

But seriously, that isn't enough to sue over. If SC can exist along side Warhammer 40k, then this can exist too. | ||

Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft are HEAVILY influenced from the pop culture around us. I'm happy they didn't get sued for it. Otherwise, we certainly wouldn't be playing sc2 right now. | ||
