[2702.90 --> 2705.38] Oh, so it's developed by the same co-dev?
[2706.04 --> 2706.44] Yeah.
[2706.86 --> 2707.30] Oh.
[2707.56 --> 2707.82] Yeah.
[2708.18 --> 2709.38] Like this is a big deal.
[2709.38 --> 2711.16] Yeah, this is a really big deal.
[2711.52 --> 2715.32] Bethesda suing for copyright infringement, breach of contract, and misappropriating trade secrets.
[2715.74 --> 2715.92] Yeah.
[2716.00 --> 2718.34] So like that's a very big deal.
[2718.84 --> 2722.84] Obviously, I don't know what a contract with Bethesda looks like because that's not our
[2722.84 --> 2723.12] business.
[2723.48 --> 2725.04] Especially that type of contract.
[2725.20 --> 2731.92] If you're looking at what I would assume to be, you know, probably eight figures to nine
[2731.92 --> 2737.42] figures total to make like a game like this.
[2737.42 --> 2742.44] I, I, and well, the thing is there's also recurring maintenance contracts and there's recurring
[2742.44 --> 2743.32] development contracts.
[2743.48 --> 2745.68] Like overall total development contract or something like this.
[2745.80 --> 2747.08] Maybe I'm overestimating it.
[2747.08 --> 2747.64] I don't know.
[2747.64 --> 2748.46] It's at least a seven figure thing.
[2748.50 --> 2750.80] I have no idea, but it's a massive amount of money.
[2750.88 --> 2755.70] So if you're looking at that, there's going to be some pretty significant confidentiality
[2755.70 --> 2756.84] agreements in there.
[2756.90 --> 2758.68] There's going to be some non-compete stuff in there.
[2758.68 --> 2763.96] Um, so essentially what they've done is they've created the same game or a very similar game,
[2764.02 --> 2765.32] I guess, for a direct competitor.
[2765.74 --> 2765.92] Yeah.
[2766.28 --> 2770.24] Um, so yeah, I would assume Bethesda is not going to be very, very pleased with that.
[2771.10 --> 2776.52] Bethesda alleges that Westworld released this week for Android and iOS has the same or highly
[2776.52 --> 2779.40] similar game design, art style, animations, features, and other gameplay.
[2779.58 --> 2780.30] Oh boy.
[2780.42 --> 2781.62] It really does.
[2781.78 --> 2782.88] You can't show my screen.
[2782.88 --> 2791.14] But if you just Google Westworld mobile game and go to images, oh man, they really didn't,
[2791.14 --> 2793.68] uh, it looks like a reskin.
[2795.00 --> 2796.02] Oh my goodness.
[2796.02 --> 2797.10] It looks like a reskin.
[2797.26 --> 2797.94] Seriously though.
[2797.96 --> 2798.94] Which screen am I going to?
[2799.02 --> 2799.94] Um, he's back.
[2800.10 --> 2801.14] Like check out this one.
[2801.24 --> 2802.10] Yeah, but no, on here.
[2802.28 --> 2803.02] Luke's screen, line of screen.
[2803.22 --> 2803.80] Oh, Luke's screen.
[2804.54 --> 2805.28] Yeah, that's confusing.
[2805.68 --> 2806.04] Ow!
[2806.66 --> 2807.06] Oof.
[2807.40 --> 2809.84] I didn't, I didn't, oh good, it didn't hit the computer.
[2810.54 --> 2812.72] It did the thing where it freezes when I touch it again.
[2812.88 --> 2813.14] Wow.
[2813.20 --> 2818.38] I haven't even like played the Fall of Shelter game, but that like definitely looks like
[2818.38 --> 2818.54] it.
[2818.82 --> 2820.28] It's really similar.
[2821.68 --> 2825.48] So yeah, I didn't realize it was the same, the same co-dev did the Westworld one.
[2825.66 --> 2826.26] Yeah, no.
[2826.40 --> 2827.98] That's like real, real bad.
[2827.98 --> 2828.26] Oh man.
[2828.44 --> 2829.02] Real bad.
[2829.22 --> 2829.46] Yeah.
[2829.60 --> 2830.46] Oh man.
[2830.46 --> 2834.96] I was saying when we intro'd the show, I was like, this is going to be, this is going
[2834.96 --> 2835.60] to be bad.
[2836.06 --> 2837.16] I mean like not even, okay.
[2837.26 --> 2842.70] My biggest thing is this character looks really similar to the Fall of War style.
[2842.88 --> 2845.80] Like the art style is almost the freaking same.
[2846.22 --> 2850.68] It's, it's not like they're like, oh, it's a multi-tier underground thing with some rooms
[2850.68 --> 2851.94] and you got to maintain it.
[2851.94 --> 2855.30] Like that, that's like, okay, it's another battle royale game, whatever.
[2855.74 --> 2856.46] This is like.
[2856.94 --> 2861.30] Have you even talked about the part where there's a bug that's present in both games?
[2861.60 --> 2862.20] Oh no.
[2862.20 --> 2862.64] What?
[2862.82 --> 2864.22] No, we haven't gotten there.
[2864.22 --> 2864.64] No, no.
[2864.68 --> 2865.82] It gets so much worse.
[2865.92 --> 2866.54] Okay, go back to me.
[2866.54 --> 2871.26] Bethesda says the game uses the same copyrighted computer code created for Fallout Shelter in
[2871.26 --> 2877.48] Westworld, alleging that a bug evident in an earlier version of Fallout Shelter, which was
[2877.48 --> 2880.32] later fixed, also now appears in Westworld.
[2880.32 --> 2885.62] I mean, I'm not a lawyer, but I'm just going to go ahead and say that Bethesda probably
[2885.62 --> 2886.44] has a case here.
[2886.94 --> 2888.06] Oh my goodness.
[2888.62 --> 2891.22] I'm no expert, but.
[2891.92 --> 2892.20] Yeah.
[2892.62 --> 2894.50] Behavior is like the studio that was working on it.
[2894.56 --> 2895.38] That's a shortened version.
[2895.50 --> 2901.16] So Behavior breached its contract with Bethesda and utilized its restricted access to Bethesda's
[2901.16 --> 2908.02] intellectual property, including Bethesda's copyrighted code, trade secrets, and other
[2908.02 --> 2910.74] rights to make a new game on the cheap.
[2911.48 --> 2914.98] Which, I mean, from the outside, yeah, it kind of sounds like it.
[2915.12 --> 2918.00] Looks like they might have something going on there.
[2918.50 --> 2919.10] Pretty brutal.
[2919.98 --> 2920.78] That's gnarly.
[2921.12 --> 2924.72] When I first clicked on this, I was kind of suspecting like, oh, it's another Battle
[2924.72 --> 2926.94] Royale thing where people are trying to copyright a concept.
[2926.94 --> 2928.84] Like, the art's almost identical.
[2928.84 --> 2930.76] It's just like.
[2930.76 --> 2932.10] It looks pretty damning.
[2932.68 --> 2937.74] It looks like you bought a Westworld costume for the Fallout game and like a Westworld room
[2937.74 --> 2938.78] skin for the Fallout game.
