Has blizzard entertainment ever sued hi Rez studios over paladins ?

[Mortem]

-+- and was paladins announced before overwatch ?

[Indiana Georg]

Overwatch is a ripoff of the previous paladins and paladins doesn’t use overwatch material, it would be just as dumb when pubg would sue fortnite

[HypersleepyNaputunia]

paladins was first i think

The whole "Overwatch ripped off paladins" is technicaly true, but you need to show proof.

...

Their dev start cycle was similar, Paladins probably actually started later, as Blizzard takes forever to launch a game.

Paladins just came out first. They just use a similar game play style due to the popularity of the time. It's like movies that have the same plot that come out in the same year.

Then. ..... Shouldn't hi Rez sue blizzard ?

Nah. Always room for games similar. If sueing was the case over similar gameplay we would get no new games anymore.

[Al Capwned]

I dont see them suing each other.

But using the same assets ?
:/ both games are fairly similar and have the same assets
Almost
But what's the point in buying 2 clone games ?
PALADINS might be better competitively since overwatch esports Is all about insta kills

However defends high-rez must really hate blizzard for some reason. Because nothing originall have come from that company. Whatever its popular they are making a shobby copy of it.

I will admit they are similar. But I look at it like this. A lot of RTS games are similar also and so are 2D platform games.

Guess at this point the big difference is the art style.

Paladins looks more World of warcraftish. Even though that is also a Blizzard thing.

To be fair, there are rumours that Warcraft and Starcraft were meant to be originally be games set in the Warhammer universes, but Games Workshop shut it down and forced Blizzard to make up the Warcraft and Starcraft settings.
