Good start for the new Chinese studio & Paradox:

They literally took a picture from Halo and plastered a chick on top of it.

That means precisely nothing. It's all about how the programmers on each individual game are deciding to process things.

It means precisely what it was meant to mean. BS asked what's wrong with the Stellaris engine, and I noted for him that it's the same engine as CK2. I'm not defending said engine or saying there are no differences between its iterations.

 

[Delterius]

Yeah I know CKII is a bit more aggressive with character death

imagine if nobody ever died in ck2

 

[Preben]

People at PDX forums have already contacted the artist and Microsoft over the suspected IP theft.

They own fanbase might take them down.

 

[Preben]

They have taken down the game from Google Play. What a shitshow.

Stellaris can be considered to be using a different engine from CK2, engines are not precisely defined and CK2 is clearly significantly different from Stellaris.

Their own community rips them apart. This is pure gold.

Also, apparently some people have already paid money for this shit.

you know, when I heard mobile version, I actually thought it would be something like giving people the ability to play on mobile too, which would suck because it'd be more dumbing down, but it'd at least be an attempt at serving the customer (not the *existing* PC customer, but you get the idea).

but this is really laughable. it's pretty clear they just tried to make a quick buck with their IP and failed spectacularly.

And paradox actually responded to this:

Meanwhile, Stellaris Galaxy Command is really just a reskin of Nova Empire: Space Command, a game released by Gamebear (the company in charge of Galaxy Command) a couple of years ago. You even find segments referencing the original game inside the Stellaris reskin:

Laziest job ever.

Schadenfreude intensifies!

 

[FeelTheRads]

Imagine contacting their chink slaves about the stolen image. The chinks will probably never understand what's the problem.

 

[Chaosdwarft]

Hmm this is so far from the Paradox I knew. I guess they are suffering from EA syndrome. Well all good things must come to an end.

 

[Space Satan]

End of the Cycle

What's "copyright"? Never heard of it.

 

[Goliath]

For sure.. That is one of the least convincing lies I have ever heard.

I mean, of course, if you don't have a name for your game yet you put the name of another game in there. Every developer does that!

3 reason I can come up with what brought this change:

1. New CEO, coming from UNIBET where she had the position of "commercial chief" whatever that means, but I guess it has to do with money and profit
2. Publicly traded now.
3. Tencent owns 5% of the company.

This has happened before.

- Chinese company steals all your game's assets to make a mobile shitheap.
- Can't go after them because lol china
- Same Chinese company offers to release their game in the west so at least you can make some money off it in royalties
- Whoa, looks like we stole shit from other games too, what a surprise.

Speculation is that this is what happened with Diablo Immortal.
