EA sues Zynga for their copycat of The Sims Social
« on: August 07, 2012, 12:05:45 PM »
It looks like Zynga has really pushed it with copying popular games.  EA has filed a lawsuit against Zynga for its game The Ville.  In its complaint EA outlines how Zynga's game is a rip-off.  Me thinks that Zynga has run into somebody with deep pockets and is about to find out how our justice system work.

They're both bastards, so this'll be an entertaining fight.  And I don't particularly care which one wins.

EA ruined the SimCity/Sims franchise. When Maxis was an independent operation, and Will Wright was heavily involved, the games were much better.

I call bull.

The stove in The Ville is clearly a flat-top, a MUCH classier model. Same with the fridge.

And, there's actually a fire in the fireplace.
