My head hurts. Just stop it already. Embrace logical thinking.

EGLS should not only have the game pulled from the app store but app sites, such as TA and PocketGamer, should also put an embargo on any future EGLS games. The fact that they lied about what they've done, then steadfastly refused to pull the game of their volition, just means they cannot be trusted and shouldn't be endorsed by gaming sites.

Agreed. It really shouldn't get any publicity for this game.

Personal computers have overwhelming advantages in supporting model designing and editing than mobile devices. We guarantee that all of our models are made by us, and each mapping is drawn with our own hands. As mentioned at the very beginning, our team got inspirations from other brilliant games and movies, but had never straightly stole assets from Torchlight. What Mr. Travis Baldree said rudely depreciated the efforts our team had devoted into the game. We would love to submit any documents, files and other materials related to the game development to Apple to prove ourselves if Runic insists on that we “wholesale stole most of the assets from Torchlight!”

There is a famous quote from Confucius in China, which says “If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. “ We respect companies including Runic Games as our teachers. We hope to learn from brilliant games’ designs, just like how Runic Games had learned from Diablo and Fate. Different from Runic Games oriented to PC/Mac, we are a company focusing on developing brand new games on today's new popular platform——mobile devices. What we hope to do is to bring the best game experience for mobile gamers and at the same time if we have the honor to contribute to the growth of mobile game industry.

EGLS Ltd.

Hi,

I totally disagree with what you said about the whole thing; you are just finding poorly worded excuses in order to condone what your company has done, and above that also abusing the meaning of Confucius' quote. If I have to give you an example that is easy to understand in China is comparing your company to someone who has secretly learned, and thus stealing a martial arts or Kung Fu style from some famous Kung Fu school; in ancient times this kind of thievery would have been punished with death penalty. Your company's action (like many others) has brought China a bad name, hence the term "China quality" and when people are talking about China, people immediately think about piracy and copyright infringements.

Do yourself a favor and pull the game from the Apple Appstore yourself, and make an original game instead, a game where you can say: "We are proud of this game because it's truly original and is made in China".

Oh man, China has the best fireworks in the world. When I was in Korea (U.S. Army) I got to see afew nights of an international fireworks competition. It was amazing overall, but China's display totally blew my mind. Their fireworks weren't just explosions of colors, but all sorts of different shapes and geometries. Cubes, pyramids, stars, even smiley faces. It was crazy, and makes me sad that here in the U.S., we're still just popping that same old stuff since who knows how long.

I was happy to see a star shape this past 4th, though. Hopefully next year we'll see some more advanced stuff!

Interestingly enough, my ultra cheap plastic water guns came from Canada

But on serious note; Why would they create anything original? Why break that trend in china, have you seen anything original that actually works and of good quality coming from there? :P Time to clone the molds of Playstation 3 and call it Polystation :P

To state your belief that a nation manufactures shoddy products is not racism. For a moderator to threaten to ban someone over that statement is reprehensible, whether you agree with them or not.
