Diablo II: Lod took years of my life. But currently and for the past 3 years World Of Warcraft has ruined my life completely. I got in to the Best 3d Graphic school in Sweden in 2005 and had the future ahead of me, but someone there intruduced me to WoW and I was stuck. I couldnt study and I stopped working on my 3d and 2d altogether, I dropped out 6month premature my graduation and got back home, started playing like a maniac. I neglected my wife and son most of the time just to do those damn instances and whatever. I am still hooked to the game but I can feel it is loosing its cool now, finaly.

I now have all classes lvl70 with almost full epic outfit on all of them, on the same account. That is probably saying how much time I wasted away on this game. It's a Sweet game but it sure kills off your social life.

Don't Do Wow!

I remember Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun had a big buzz, cus Command & Conquer andRed Alert was supercool games and sold loads. Tiberian Sun was boring, same ol think but with a tech that was before its time, most people didnt have the graphic card to support the stuff they used.

Laaaaame.

Wow, cool. The Bible Game. That sounds horribly and bizarre. I gotta try that one. I'm sure the game is closer to reality than the book though :)

Oh and Here is Gamespots own report of the other lawsuit against the company when they used a graffiti artists artwork in GTA

Interesting, although it was more like a footnote in that article. The link GameSpot has is dead too. In any case, the poster over there is right, get a lawyer if you think you have a case. And posting accusations with a newly made account isn't going to get you anywhere. If anything users will think you're just after publicity.

It just bug me that this huge company leech of the little people and then cry when someone download their stuff. And I have tried to contact them directly but they refuse to reply to me. And getting a lawyer in Sweden is much more expensive than in the states, we have no Pay on Victory deals and since Rockstar is based in US(I think) I have to take the suit there, which would cost too much.

I'm a one-man company with no money, I make free gadgets so there is nothing to pick from :)

And finaly, Yea I can see that I don't come off like the good guy since this is my very first post on this forum and people might think I'm just talking nonsense for the publicity, but the thing is Free, I don't make money off it. Anyways, it was not my intention to make news, I just wanted to tell Somebody that this company is Bad news.

I don't know what you're talking about.

They used The Graffiti Creator, flash application which I coded in 2001 and used my font which I draw back in the late 90s and later digitalized and used in the application. How do you compair that to using Times New Roman, which by the way of course is copyrighted :)

Hi. First of all I'd like to appologuise to the mods of this forum. I posted this before but forgot to include the undoubtable proof of this so the topic got locked up right away. Now I do have solid proof so here goes again..

Hiya. My name is Mike(MindGem) and I'm a flash game developer. My most well known title is The Graffiti Creator ( http://www.graffiticreator.net ). It's a free to use flash app where the user can create their own graffiti-styled texts using various options.

Now..Someone sent me screenshots from the Rockstar Games latest game, Bully ( http://www.rockstargames.com/bully/home/)

The screenshots looked like they had my graffiti art on the ingame walls. So I checked it up and I saw it was true from various Youtube clips of the game. So this company steal other developers art and use in their own commercial games and makes tons of money of others hard work, What bastards!

Anyways, I also Googled other stuff of this company, turns out they got sued twice of two other guys when they did the excact same thing using their graffiti art on the ingame walls of Grand Theft Auto.

Now, what do You think about this? These multimilion dollar companies cry over people downloading their games illegaly so they loose a lot of money, oh buuu huu. Do they really deserv this money when they just take others work and paste into their games?

Here are the proof of this:

Screenshots from the game Bully:

http://www.mindgem.se/trash/bully2.jpg
http://www.mindgem.se/trash/bully3.jpg

All these images in the background can be made right now on the website, since 2001. And the user policy clearly state that its free to use for personal use and not for commercial use.

And the original artworks:

Now, I just made this text, you can go make it yourself using the program at the GraffitiCreator website so you can see for yourself that its the same font and program used. They didnt even bother to distort it a bit, just pasted it in as it was.
