[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 1110376, member: 1194"] damn well said, Umbran. I am flabbergasted that on these boards, of all places (where usually IP of gamers is held to a ridiculously high principle), there are a myriad of people basically telling WW that there's no way Underworld could be a copy of their work, and that How Dare They defend their creative efforts? Also, unless you have SOME familiarity with WW and the World of Dakness, than I firmly am of the opinion that you should shut your trap about things you know absolutely bupkiss about. As jdavis reasonably said, why don't you wait until the movie comes out (get some education about WoD) and then decide for yourself how blatant the lifting of ideas is. And I guarantee you - there [b]are[/b] ideas lifted from the WoD in Underworld - it permeates the trailer. It's just a matter of what degree Underworld copied WW. So for anyone to say WW shouldn't defend themselves, when there's warning signs all around that a crime happened... well, to be blunt, you're in the wrong to say that, and it's none of your business, AND you're not in the position to come to that conclusion yet (unless you've got a bootlegged copy of the movie already). I swear, I haven't seen so much knee-jerk, uncalled-for pre-judging since before [i]A Knight's Tale[/i] came out, if anyone remembers how many board members made themselves look stupid for passing false judgment on something they [b]hadn't seen[/b].
