You could easily argue that about any pair of games of the same genre. 'Omg, Tekken is just a rip of the very fast growing Virtua Fighter! It's just trying to hijack the success!". "Virtua Fighter is just a rip of FX Fighter!" "Fx Fighter is just a rip of Mortal Kombat!' 'Mortal Kombat is just a rip of Street Fighter 2'

Computer games -hell, and movies *and* music, is, always has been, and always will be, about seeing something, an idea, a style, and going 'I like that... but it would be better if XXX'

I just decided to do something about 'XXX'!

Ask yourself, would you rather play Street Fighter 4, or IK+? :-)

Also, to paraphrase, let's just jump back 18 months in time:

"Minecraft is just a pure rip of an extremely fast growing game. It's just trying to hijack the success of Infiminer! I hope this game dies a very painful and costly death"

I hope my point is made there?

If you are making this game, why do you use habboxforum? :S

People seem to be getting really hostile about this for no reason. It's a game in the same genre, it's not an exact copy and infringes on no legalities - not to mention Notch himself has said that he doesn't care if people want to make similar games. Anyone who can't understand the difference in concepts between "inspired by" and "stolen from" ought to do some research before getting into this sort of argument
