说个题外话,最近在玩一个web游戏。是两个老外业余做的,但是平衡性非常好,据说是目前这类游戏的马首了,而且是开源的。有不少中国人在上面玩。
结果前几天游戏作者抓狂了,说有中国网站把这个游戏翻译成中文,换个名字就当成他们的游戏了。最可恶的还不光是盗用代码和整个数据库,而是他们把这个游戏改成收费的了,花钱买装备,彻底把一个以平衡性著称的好游戏给做垃圾了。
看来,百度模式在中国还真是遍地开花啊。不知道挤走了多少“不做坏事”的认真敬业的公司,连这种小作坊级别的网站都屡遭其害。

Copy and Paste (2010-03-16 23:56:31 by Nipal)
Today we discovered something pretty disturbing thanks to one of our players: there is a new browser game which has just been launched in China. You might wonder why we are posting about another game while we're living on the other side of the planet... The truth is, they have something to do with us, or rather A LOT of things. What they did was duplicate our entire game and localize it for Chinese market. You may think it's normal to copy other games' ideas, as World of Warcraft inspired us a lot. However, what they did with their game in China was only to copy&paste our public game code, and add their graphics to it. They even went as far as to copy the tiniest details for which they did not understand the use.
We have spent much our free time to make Estiah and it really pains us to see our hard work stolen this way. This is the only word we can use to describe taking something without its owner's consent, and I guess the meaning of the word "stealing" is same in China as well.
Anyway, whoever the owners of that game might be, we are not going to give them more attention. They probably still have a lot of work to catch up with the latest game improvements, and with all the content we added thanks to our great playerbase. They might have more financial rewards for their hard earned work thanks to the "buy" link added behind every icon and the adds popping up around, but we'll always stay ahead in term in term of gameplay thanks to our players supporting us in so many different ways. We're truly grateful to all of you for that.

今天有一点点小事向我们的中国玩友宣布。经一位忠实游客提醒,我们发现一款“全新”的网络游戏在中国发布。各位可能要问为何要谈看上去无关紧要中文游戏,其实问题出在那款游戏不是一般的抄袭,他们改改门面但偷盗了我们辛苦所著的大部程式,让我们实在伤感。虽说Estiah中文化的可能性很小,(对不起各位,我们做的游戏到底还算是业余爱好,实在能力有限),但这样被偷的还是有些气愤的。游戏制作其实也都互相参考的,就象我们也是从魔兽世界得到灵感的。不过我们是一把汗一把鼻涕(夸张,笑)做出来的,那款游戏不同就太过分了,对网页制作稍有了解的网友很容易发现他们的是剪贴我们的。
好了,稍稍发泄就舒服了,反正我们对他们是无能为力,就象流水一样让这事过去。只要有玩友记得我们,记的“正宗”的Estiah,我们以心满意足了。最后大大感谢各位的以往各种形式的支持,有玩客才有游戏,谁都很明白的。我们只是叹息那款游戏在卖各类快速升级道具,搞对有钱人优惠待遇,让游戏有失公平。 |
