NEWS: OMGPOP getting sued by TETRIS


Not long after they get 5 million......the celebrations have turned to trouble.

TETRIS are claiming that OMGPOP (formally iminlikewithyou) have copied TETRIS. OMGPOP's version is very well done and looks great, I am a big fan but its not original and it is a version of TETRIS.

So may be a quick deal to share revenues with TETRIS on any games of BLOCKLES that generate money, and in addition to that the usual copyright statement which acknowledges the creators, or some reference to the game being inspired by etc....etc...

Odd thing is they are focusing on the graphics and not saying they copied the code...probably because of the current LAW.

See for yourself....

All of OMGPOP's online multiplayer games are versions of classics! Balloono is a mimic of Super Bomberman, Hover Kart Battle is just like Super Mario Kart, Booya is a fast paced rip-off of Uno, Hamster Battle is a rip-off of Super Smash Brothers, and Missile Command is....welll, MISSILE COMMAND!
