Don't know if he is or not, but are you a GW IP lawyer or something? :lol:
I'm just not into supporting blatant examples of knockoff video games, it doesn't matter whether they stole from GW or from some other company. Still theft.

You can not copyright vague concepts like "Elf on Lizard." Sure, copyright and trademark the name for brand recognition. But the names here are different. And GW do not nor will they ever have a monopoly on fantasy race rides fantasy creature into battle. Or we'd never ever get any fantasy beyond Lord of the Rings and Elric.
Keep ignoring what I said in my previous post:

It's not about copyrighting a dark elf riding a big lizard, it's about doing nothing but copying whole factions off and their entire rosters, including specific WF factions and units (especially some unique WF units), such as Skaven, Warriors of Chaos, or Beastmen.

Do you actually believe that stealing 99% of specific WF lore-related stuff and using it under a different name makes their content legit and original?

First thing - SOVL has almost no lore. Second - Warhammer fantasy stole most of their lore from Tolkien and from some pulp fantasy novel writers.
Third thing - you are a huge faggot.

GW got their stuff for Warhammer from several sources and adapted it for their own setting. These niggers stole 99% of WF factions and units and renamed them.

If GW were not lazy and greedy they would have released a game like that a long time ago. Too bad !
Also you are a huge shilling CUCK.

i'm still convinced that a "virtual warhammer", with a decent painter and one fourth/third of the price, would make gw horribly filthy disgustingly rich.
what keeps people away from miniatures is the lack of skill and how long it takes to cut, file and paint miniatures. give me a "car mechanic simulator" for minis and i can see myself only needing in life drips and diapers. hell, pretty much all the "car mechanic simulator"-likes have been huge successes, total war games were niche before being branded warhammer. i can see no possible way for this to fail.
