Every now and then you hear some aspiring game developers wanting to copy or use something without treading in hostile legal waters. Unfortunately for Diego, he did just that.

3d people always have an obsession with creating something thats real. when your supposed to be creating a work of fiction. if 3d people would stay away from trying to simulate reality this wouldnt happen. thats really where the problem lies. when 3d hit the scene everyone stopped using thier imaginations and focused solely on duplicating reality. which is really the complete opposite of artistry

I shouldn't have made a political statement like that. I'm about one step short of an anarchist so most governments look like oppressive socialist governments to me, including the US.
