What happened to Thievery is that dead?
People still play, not like we used to. There is version 1.6 of Thievery, that was released back in March. There is talk of some updated models, supposedly being worked on, a guard model by Gullenfox. I haven't played it in a long time, tournaments are still held. Yeah, it just won't die.

No, because we are not using their intellectual property. If you want you can search on the Dark Mod forums for the same endless discussions of this tired old subject.
Rubbish. There is no copyright on "Thief-like stealth games", any more than there is a copyright on "stories about teenage wizards". Copyright protects content (text, video, audio) not ideas.
No need to take that attitude.
I thought it was just New Horizon, but it seems all of you DarkMod lot are really
obnoxious and arrogant - not to mention totally uninformed about INTELLECTUAL copyright infringement (it was created to stop people like you saying exactly what you just said).
And let's not forget the fact that you are touting your wares on this forum, and there are pages of archived eidence scattered all over this site, more than proves that this software project is based upon Eidos intellectual property.
If not, then maybe Eidos will care, because:-
A> All of the Thief series is still on sale.
B> You are using another company's technology (Engine) to ape Eidos' property.
C> Eidos is notoriously litigious - and you bunch could not financially afford to defend yourself if they saw fit to send you a Summons.
D> Your software neither does anything for, nor benefits Eidos in any way shape or form, financial or otherwise -
THE bottom line.
As an Eidos shareholder I have the right to submit these same questions (in writing) at the A.G.M. or to The Financial Director at any time prior to this.
If it wasn't that it would spoil other's fun then I would do this and get you shut down ASAP just because you are soooo rude and cocky.
And don't waste your time flaming me, I will not get involved. I will not even read this thread again.

You should consider Pixar vs Dreamworks, eg. "Finding Nemo" vs "Shark Tale" and "A Bugs Life" vs "Ants" etc.

Perhaps the cause of all the "obnoxious and arrogant" comments (seriously? you must live a sheltered life in these forums) is people posting this as if we've never considered it. Surprising as it may seem, we *did* think a little bit about this three years ago when we started this venture. Not only did we *think* about it, we actually did a little homework.
So thanks very much for your concern.

Some utterly inane and ignorant garbage, pointless ranting and a few hypocritical ad-homs thrown in for good measure.
Are you related to that Time Cube guy, by any chance?

ROTFL! LOL!
Very very funny :cheeky:
This is the envy, guys, don't mind about it. This means that you are supergrowing and the project TDM it's cool.
So go ahead!:thumb:

The fact they allowed Thievery, whose name is even suspiciously closer to Thief than the Dark Mod, to an indiscriminate legal department the fact that it was only multiplayer would have made very little difference if they were intent on protecting their IP to that extent.
