EA have responded to accustations of plagiarism .
The accusations came after artwork released which showed tank designs which appeared to be direct replicates of Warhammer 40k designs. Releasing a statement to Gamespot, EA said that the issue has now been resolved:
“Games Workshop and EA are aware of the IP issues around the artwork in question, which have now been resolved”.
EA then goes on to point out the issue stemmed from concept art that was “unintentionally” released:
“The artwork was internal EA concept art that was unintentionally released publicly. No Warhammer 40,000 tanks have ever made an appearance in Command and Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, and never will. Games Workshop and EA continue to have a strong relationship working together on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and the new free to play game Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes which just entered open beta”.
So there you go – all happy campers. Released unintentionally? Of course…
