Assets Stolen from ToME?

[Biorr]

I noticed the game 'The Exiled' a free to play game here on Steam uses some of the exact same icons for skills as ToME uses for talents. Are the games owned by the same company or is this a case of stolen assets?

Here are some example from The Exiled wiki, look down at the 'ability selection' part

Vs ToME's

I looked around a bit and didn't find anything that would hint as having the same developer/publisher. Seems like two differente companies for me.

The only thing that would remain is whether the assets ToME uses are really their own property or not, which I do not know. There are some games (RotMG comes to mind) that just use assets that are free for general use. I do not know if it's the case with ToME though. If it isn't, seems like stolen assets to me.

Edit: snooped around a bit more, read the following:

The icons belong to a free source, http://game-icons.net/

Ah, free use icons. I wouldn't have thought of that. I noticed in a youtube vid after playing some ToME and thought I recognized them. lol

careful before Youtube asset package watchdogs like Jim Sterling and Sid Alpha get ahold of this info and start calling you asset flippers and get their mob of 10k millenial yes men to come and slander the game
