Walsingham Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I just noticed an ad for a game called 'Total Domination' that is using what is clearly stolen GW artwork to promote its' game. It even has the tac unit markings! I wouldn't touch YOUR computer with any outfit that is thieving material like this. Thought I should flag it up, even though warnings are cropping up in many other places. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

alanschu Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Is this some Facebook style game? I have seen a lot of "Your friends won't be seeing much of you" types of ads there.

Deraldin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Gee, I wonder if they are related to Imperium: Galactic War? Must have just changed their name. They also had the space marine one, but I don't have a picture of that one. For those that don't recognize the second image, it's a Terran Medic fan art image from Starcraft 2.

alanschu Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I can probably pass on the Mass Effect one if I can get a more solid source

Deraldin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I can probably pass on the Mass Effect one if I can get a more solid source Sorry, the only information I have is that the ad was running on Neogaf around a month ago. I haven't seen it in awhile. I talked a little bit with Calax about it on Steam.

Walsingham Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Ok. But I'm right, aren't I? Any outfit shady enough to blatantly steal IP shouldn't be trusted. "It wasn't lies.

alanschu Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 It's the type of thing that may reek of huge scam, yes. Doesn't mean it necessarily is, but at the same time should we support those that do blatantly steal IP?

I thought given it's title, it could have been Plagiarists Monthly, but there is no original, unique content in there at all. ------------- I also love how "they" know there wont be a better game out this year.

Keyrock Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) This reminds me of those old Evony ads exploting sex. These days, I guess Wartune, whatever the **** that is, is the champion in that area: I have to admit that "Our sun-kissed skin so hot... Will melt your popsicle!" is a pretty fantastic slogan. On the one hand, I still remember the name Evony, so I guess the ads worked in that regard. On the other hand, I never played the game or clicked on any of the ads, so...

No wonder I never heard it before. I suppose that as long as you're blatantly and shamelessly using sex to try to push your undoubtedly microtransactioned to death game, you might as well rip off crappy bubble gum pop lyrics while you're at it.
