McDeth, please... just please put down the crack pipe.  There's no way in hell they could've independently come up with three (count 'em - three) separate and completely different weapon models that all just coincidentally look exactly like ours.  The only difference I noticed is a different texture on the flamethrower's barrel - but otherwise it was an exact copy, right down to the "flammable" symbol on the fuel tanks.

yeah... even in that situation, i agree it was still uncalled for.  kruzader was defending us, and that's what's important - attacking him because of semantics is just rude and uncouth  

reaper: I didn't go and see what you posted there, but jew, pope, preacher or jackrabbit, throwing with laden words like that is uncalled for, aswell as unhelpful. People stealing mod-work are usually jack-asses and almost always fools. That doesn't make them (neo-)nazi's, nor does the fact that they're German. And if stupid assumptions and accusations are what you went and posted on that site, then you've just helped us out of the frying pan and into the fire.

As for the rest: Babelfish translations (unless requested), insults, trolling and the like will hardly help our cause, so think thrice. I thought I didn't have to repeat myself, because I explained it all the last time we got ripped off. The time before that we got to see first hand how it all went wrong, while it could have gone relatively smooth. Considering that this kind of thing will happen at least 10 more times before we make a final release, let's not make it a bumpy ride, shall we?

Well said Bird Man

"im sorry mr. mackey, mkay?"
"mkay."
"were all sorry mr. mackey, mkay?"
"mkay"

yea... i still think we should do something about this, like contact id software or something.

So are these guys saying those are NOT your models now or what? I cant tell what they are saying...

Either way, sucks again guys. Sorry to hear about this. Its a shame people cant just use common sense.

Let's keep an eye on em. I'll be sure to check the contents of their downloadable files later.

On the news page:

"Da sich im Forum die Jungs von Generations aufgegast haben, wir h?tten Modelle von ihnen geklaut, was nicht der Wahrheit entspricht, hab ich trotzdem beschlossen, erstmal die Modelle aus dem Screens sektor zu nehmen, um mir zu ?berlegen, wie man das am besten bewei?en kann.


PS for americans: You said we are Nazis, but we are not the one, who still kill children for oil! Amy Go Home!"

lol! now they're the ones playing 'victims'

I can't read German very well, is he saying that he merely put the picture there as inspiration for how best to proceed on their own ideas yet to be put into the game?

Can't tell.

PS: YEA GO HOME AMY

What they're saying is that they think we're full of shit. Even so, they're removing the screenshots (or actually just the links, as you've noticed), until they have decided how the ownership can be proven.

In other words, they're probably making adjustments now that they consider to be big enough to be able to lie about ownership. That's the only way I can interpret it, because I KNOW what we've made, and who owns it. That would be us.

I'm Dutch, not German, so I don't see any logical error in their 'go home' attitude, other than the obvious one: If you steal someone's stereo, and they come to retrieve it, you don't tell them to go home.
