Rust vs 7D2D - who stole whose idea?

[Ook]

I've played both 7D2D and Rust. The similarities are marked - you harvest an axe to chop trees, yhou craft a pickaxe to harvest stone, you kill animals to harvest meat and fat. Dark outside? Light your torch. User interface? similar.

7D2D is far more advanced than Rust, but if you compare them side by side, it seems that Rust is a crude version of 7D2D without the zombies.

Why stole the idea from whom? I'm surprised the devs are not taking each other to court.

The list of simlar games does not stop there. No one is stealing ideas though. That's like saying CoD stole shooting guns in first person from Doom or Wolfenstein

most of that can be found in pretty much all 'survival games'

ha...good point

"Copying" may be a better word than "stealing" here. That is certainly happening, but I doubt if you could trace it between just this and Rust. The best candidate for "common ancestor" of this style of game I can think of is Minecraft, and I vaguely recall some statement from the 7DTD devs that they explicitly wanted a Minecrafty feel in the game.

There's nothing wrong with it in any event, beyond us having to scroll through too many similar games to find the ones that have done a really good job with that style of gameplay. Competition, copying, and refinement of the formula is a good thing for the players, on the whole.

7DTD has way more team work.

RUST is just a gang of humans running around and killing you to ruin your fun.

IMO, 7DTD is more teambased and fun PVE game. Rust is more griefing and PvP game.

This is the stupidest post so far.

My team and I left Rust years ago for 7dtd. 7days is simply light years ahead of Rust.

rust and 7 days to die are nothing like each other to say they feel the same makes you a idiot.

This is an example of why the average video gamer should stay far away from anything law related.

Who cares?

I like both games.

It's not any sort of 'copying' so much as it is genre similarities

Exactly.

Yup. No similarities at all. No similar crafting system. No similar tools. No similar building techniques.

So, should Notch take both Rust's devs and TFP to court, considering Minecraft predates both 7 Days and Rust, and has everything you believe is copying?
