    EA ripping off Warhammer 40k for C&C Tiberium Alliance

    Games have been cribbing from Warhammer 40,000 for years. The series that created what many consider to be the archetypal space soldier is always going to have an influence on artists and designers creating futuristic new worlds. EA’s browser based strategy, Command and Conquer: Tiberium Alliances may have gone a bit far, though, judging from some comparison images created by Redditor Bro-jangles, which put a couple of Tiberium Alliance’s tanks side by side with a few famous 40K vehicles. The similarities are uncanny.

    Warhammer? Isn't that where 40 year old guys get together to swap halitosis and make up stories about getting laid?

    I walked into one of those Games Workshop stores a few months ago.

    I was genuinely afraid of Fat sweaty virgin rape.

    I literally backed out of the shop.....Never again [stop]

    Not the first game to copy it, the best game ever created also copies warhammer 40k heavily. Though that is due to a pulled GW license, so it's a bit more understandable...

    I would like to point out that this content came from /v/ and Reddit stole it and took credit for it because it is a garbage website.

    Way to prioritize thread derailment over EA hating.
