So you're comparing this to the fact that every game has guns or something? I don't know, make the effort to look at the trailer at least... It's literally like there's a game called "Mega Roberto" where you jump on snails, dressed in red with a moustache but he's Spanish. If you were introduced to that, you wouldn't make the same remark at all.
I still think Ubisoft is wasting its time. Like, there's already been some Overwatch plagiarism on mobile phones, and it's going to keep coming out everywhere (even though that plagiarism is much less obvious than this one I find, really in Area F2 it's impressive how MANY aspects of R6S are simply copied and pasted) but still, I have a hard time understanding the premise of that remark. Is it ok to copy a game's ideas and sell it on the phone "because all games have graphics"?
Because we're talking about selling, we're not just talking about a guy who makes a flash game or a fangame, we're talking about a company that sells a game on the phone, it's not the same thing, and that just makes your remark more inappropriate, I think.
It's not about being a "clone", it's about "copy paste" and pure imitation. Also, open source clones doesn't sell your ideas to another public, but Area F2 does. I mean, you know why Paladins is not being sued by Blizzard ? Because their game is different despite being the same genre, yes sometimes they take ideas but it's still their own work and it shows, but Area F2 is pure plagiarism. I've tried it myself when I saw it on the store and I loled so hard when I saw the characters, they just changed some nationalities of the characters, but also gave the exact same weapons and gadgets to some in order to mix things up a little bit, they took the UI and stuff and boom, there you go. It's just plagiarism. They didn't even tried to adapt it to mobile controls, it's just the same game. You could give it to somebody who played R6S once but doesn't play a lot generally and he would say "oh but I already played it on PC".
I mean, on this website we can see a whole bunch of people explaining how it's normal for Nintendo to send a bunch of DMCA on fangames, but can't understand how this one is problematic ????? Come on ... Someguy even said that "all the shooters looks the same" smh no words come to mind. How ignorant do you have to be to say things like that? "Oh all rpg's are the same, it's always one boring trick at a time" "Oh all platformers are the same, just jump on enemies and walk straight". I'm not a fan of management games or strategy games for example, maybe from my point of view they look a little bit alike, but I don't know if they're really all the same since I don't know anything about them, but then I don't say it for 3 reasons: 1. I don't know anything about them, maybe they don't look alike at all. 2. It would be very contemptuous. 3. I'd look like an idiot.
