{F} I was plagerize'd

Posted by Fabio on Jan. 15, 2008, 6:26 p.m.

Look at this newly submitted game:

http://64digits.com/games/index.php?cmd=view_game&id=4488

Pretty good game, right? Yeah, that's because I made it first. Here's the original GMC topic:

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=192286&hl=

And here's the more recent one:

http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=278371&hl=

This guy (soup42) even PM'd me about the game and how he liked it or whatever. I don't have the original PM's, unfortunately.

If that's not plagiarism I don't know what is. JUSTICE!

owned indeed

To be honest, I think Fabio forgot about letting him make this game, and is now digging himself a big hole. Soup42, your video proof isn't any good seeing as you don't show the address bar at all (even though it could be spoofed, but still). Also, when you clicked the page loaded -suspiciously- fast, as if it wasn't on the GMC's server at all.

Anyway, I'm not sure actually who's lieing here.

@OL - Mine loads about that fast. Perhaps you have slow internet. Also, in the last few seconds of it, it shows the tab and the blue GM icon. I, too, think Fabio just forgot, or a mysterious liquid made him forget that night. ;)

The GMC's servers are really unreliable for me, it can load fast, or take an eternity.

Of course, that video could easily be faked, in today's world, but… why would anyone bother?

Either Fabio has amnesia, or Soup spoofed that page. I have no idea which.

Either way, the idea for BND wasn't original, nor was it particularly good either.

This ends now, I don't want to hear any more complaining about it. To me it's very unlikley that soup42 faked the PMs. So Fabio if you pester him again, warns++.

Also, protip: you can't 'own' ideas. Even if he didn't ask you, which he did, it'd still be okay.

@GG, very true, as one can quite easily sell games based off existing franchises, but GMers are… above that law, they have an idea, it's theirs, no one elses1!1!!

Sigh, if only GMers were as normal developers…

Anyone ever made a Mario remake? I rest my case.

Well for one, there's like 3 untitled files, including paint files, very suspicious. Also, in the video, it shows something red at the bottom and it unclearly says "Something not found"

Soup42, instead of making fake pm's and such, why didn't you just man up, and tell Fabio straight in the face that he doesn't own any idea and you can make any game you want no matter what and that you don't need his permission.

And if you're not faking, Fabio you probably forgot, or if you're regretting your decision and want him to stop, too bad, you should of thought of that before.

And here's how you resolve it, Soup42, simply make your game, and give Fabio credit for inspiration, and Fabio, just be quite and sit back cause it doesn't matter if you said he could or not, you can't own an idea. No matter HOW similar it is, and if its really that big of a deal, then Soup42, I suggest making it more original.

Also Fabio, you also admitted that Soup42 PM'd you about your game as said in the actual game topic here on 64D, so those PM's are probably actually real and not fake.

I'd say the odds are this:

70% Real

30% Fake

Unless you can get a screenshot of the "real" PM's.
