    Jeez. I thought we were better then Reddit. 
    

    That being said, I don’t like Nintendo & their Ninjas, but PocketPair is not innocent here.

    This is not their only ripoff. For their next project, they choose to ripoff Hollow Knight. (At least they are consistent I guess?).

    They also abandoned an unfinished early access game (This game is 4 years into Early Access).

    Their CEO is also a crypto bro and said himself that he does not necessarily care about originality, if it means, that he can reach more people (and by extension earn more money).

    Just to name a few.

      Didn’t the guy who originally posted the “1:1 model comparisons” later admit that he stretched and scaled the models to fit better?

      It’s derivative, but not a ripoff.

        Scaling? Yes. Streching? No.

        The models had to be scaled, so that they are the same size, because models in different engines are differently scaled and a propper comparison could not be made otherwise.

      My opinion for what it’s worth is generally no one is going to not play hollow knight because they are playing the ripoff. You can’t own a style or game genre if someone has a similar look and feel there’s not much you can do about it than have a better game.
