Is this ok? Isn't this plagiarism?
Look, I love RTS and Sci-Fi just as the next geek nerd, but I don't think this is nice.
Leaving the Krogan aside, since we still need to see his face, the Asari and Turians were blatantly plagiarized.
It’s not like they used “elves” or “fairies,” which are traditional folklore and mythology from around the world and aren’t copyrighted. But these are intellectual properties owned by BioWare and EA, aren’t they?
It’s like Tencent’s Light of Motiram, which plagiarized Horizon and was sued over it.
As a Mass Effect fan and someone who loves both RPGs and RTSs, I found it incredibly disrespectful. Was it really that difficult to come up with some original races instead of copying from somewhere else? Especially when they’re copying from an established IP with copyright protection?
