Valorant developer Riot Games is suing NetEase over its game, Hyper Front.<\/p>\n
According to Polygon, a filing at a UK court claims that Hyper Front is a \u201ccopy of substantial parts of Valorant\u201d. Riot claims there are a number of similarities, including characters, maps, weapons, weapon skins, weapons stats, and charms. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll of our creative choices are mirrored in NetEase’s game,\u201d said Riot Games’ lawyer, Dan Nabel. \u201cWe don’t think that changing the color of a character ability or slightly modifying the visual appearance changes the fact that it’s copyright infringement. It’s like that old saying, ‘You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.’\u201d<\/p>\n
