Sarya Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well, I've never heard of Tri-Synergy before, being a gamer. So it's still might be inexperience or really limited experience - in combination with incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Which one is oblivion in the screenshots? :P anyway, they stole much... how can they possibly expect to someone to not notice the similarityif i were them, i would have stolen from less known games ;D how can they steal from awarded games? (Should i continue with "how can they"?)I was talking about the similarities in the two cases... this and the Encarta one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's still might be inexperience or really limited experience - in combination with incompetence.As I tried to say in former post. This seems to be something Tri-Synergy got completely unaware... they contracted a developer gamehouse and released what they got. Worse... maybe even Magestic executives were unaware the issue... Not that it does any difference in the end... The result is already patent, they had to withdraw the game from the shelfs. Maybe it's even a government conspiracy, ;D anyway the most amazing and ridiculous case of this nature since that infamous Encarta one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarya Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 nosisab, well, it's obvious they weren't aware. A bit too expensive for them for a silly joke, isn't it? But they should've known. No publisher is able to know every design detail in every game, but when it's to such degree... they should've been more attentive. Not buy a cat in a bag.

worm82075 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 They may very well escape litigation here, after reading the Bethesda thread (post162 had this link http://dead-code.org/home/ ) and then re-examining the trailer it is quite obvious what is going on here. All those stolen assets are nothing more than 2d images of existing 3d gaming environments and I'm not sure they can be sued for that. obviously the game won't make much money but the perpetrator of the fiasco is as stated on the publishers site "on post-release leave" yeah no doubt soaking up the Bermuda sun and laughing his ass off as he spends that substantial advance from Tri-Synergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarya Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 If those images are made directly from screenshots - then yes, they can be. But that has to be proven, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you buy a 'goiaba' (guava?) you don't know if the worm82.. ops the larva is there :) What to say is, the customer need to learn about what he 'buys' ... look well in the EUL... ops again, in the conditions of the item.

worm82075 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 hahahahaha i have finally fiqured it out, In the interview Steve Bolvis says his developer name was TRI - LOGIK before changing it to MAJESTIC. Now consider the software this was made on and combine that with the thought of Tri-logic(synergy) and that of a viral ad campaign. I think this has been an elaborate viral advertising hoax not to bring people to know this little known publisher but to bring people to know theWintermute Engine.. It's brilliant really, this relatively unknown 2.5D free for all point and click adventure game engine developer has had over 3000 visitors in the last 24 hours. Edit: Just Google Limbo Of The Lost and watch as headlines popup on every single gaming site on the Internet, everyone is talking about this and that equals big hit points for Wintermute Engine sites. This is the biggest news in gaming and that is the most hilarious spectacle I have yet seen in this community. Unbelievable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
