"You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity." |
OMG...are WoW and WAR fanbois ever going to bash each other over this issue? What does it even matter, hm? Green Orc's, the greatest Intellectual Property in the world? Blizzard borrowing art-styles from somewhere else? Warhammer already copying an IP only changing it to their purpose?
Fact is, Warhammer is as much a Fantasy Rip-Off of Tolkien as anything else. They use the same "basic" kind of setting and OMG, they made the Orcs green instead of black. Well gosh. How innovative for them!!! And sarcasm aside, they made a nice little IP from it, but don't try to make it into the Genesis of its own kind without any source from where they drew ideas.
Blizzard copied some of Warhammer and created Warcraft. That is more or less obvious, but hey, they only did what Warhammer did before them, borrow ideas and made them their own. And gosh....they succeeded, because hey, guess what? Warcraft was hugely successful. So is WoW. It doesn't matter if you like the game (I personally don't anymore), or not, you can't refute the fact it is insanely successful.
Likewise, you won't be able to refute the fact that WAR the MMO will borrow a lot from Waracraft (which in turn was probably borrowed from other games of old but has been forgotten). WAR will use ideas of WoW and improve on them (or not), that is a given, because they would be stupid not to and from everything I have seen of WAR, it is doing exactly that. Borrowing ideas and improving on them, thus, making their own game.
This stupid debate over who was first has been going on for so long and honestly, what difference does it make. All it really tells you, is that both Warcraft and Warhammer are IP's based on even older IP's and changed to fit their needs while ideas from other people were integrated into them. Get over it, sheesh. |
