The increasing evidence that EGLS, developer a iOS hack ‘n slash Armed Heroes Online, had “borrowed” both visual 'n audio elements from Runic Games’ Torchlight seems t' have done it be job.
In a statement released t' Joystiq (I’ve been unable t' procure a copy, despite reaching out t' the company through several avenues), EGLS said it would begin t' change Armed Heroes Online.
“We do note that the recent controversial discussions about Armed Heroes Online had brought harm t' our company's reputation 'n worse got our players confused 'n upset, which be not what we expect t' see,” said the company in a statement. “As a professional game developer, EGLS has been always dedicating our every effort t' bring out better game experience for our players. Players always come first. There, we prefer t' modify some parts a Armed Heroes Online where have caused those disputes rather than go on arguing. As long as this carves out a way out a angry disputes, it will be definitely worth our efforts.”
Nowhere in the statement does EGLS actually admit t' any wrongdoing, 'n it continued t' make the argument that there be simply similarities between Armed Heroes Online 'n other games, not copyright infringement.
ye can look through me story from yesterday t' judge for yourself what constitutes a similarity.
In any case, Armed Heroes Online be no longer on the App Store, Canada or otherwise. It’s unclear if that be the result a Runic Games’ lawyers or EGLS pulling the game down itself. The company also claims it will release material t' Apple 'n other parties if issues persist once it has "modified" the game 'n resubmitted t' Apple.
