May Retro never go third party (A tale of Silicon Knights)

[Great Rumbler]

And before ABF defends SK on the lawsuit:

“Silicon Knights deliberately and repeatedly copied thousands of lines of Epic Games’ copyrighted code, and then attempted to conceal its wrongdoing by removing Epic Games’ copyright notices and by disguising Epic Games’ copyrighted code as Silicon Knights’ own,” Judge Dever wrote.

Evidence shown in the court documents proved to the judge that Denis Dyack’s firm “willfully” and “maliciously” tried to hide its theft by changing the variable names in engine’s code. Lines of engine code can number in the millions, and Epic’s attorneys went to “significant efforts” in order to reveal the “breadth and scope” of Silicon’s “prolonged coverup.”

Judge Dever said the evidence against Silicon Knights was “overwhelming,” as its “copying” included not only the functional code contained within Unreal Engine 3, but also “non-functional, internal comments Epic Games’ programmers had left for themselves.”
