A quite remarkable story has emerged about a PC adventure game from Majestic Studios called Limbo Of The Lost. It has, it is alleged, entirely lifted locations and art from at least five other games, apparently proven in a number of screenshots posted by GamePlasma yesterday. Oblivion seems the main target, along with Thief 3 and others. Because, hey, who bought those games? But this is a larger story of peculiarity.

I'm downloading this now. Stealing this game doesn't feel like much of a crime.

Anyone seen the awesome story that is G2 software?  Truely inspiring.  I'll have to see if I can find a copy.
