Activision gets Orion pulled from Steam over stolen assets.
>Trek Industries’ open-world sci-fi shooter Orion has been pulled from Steam, thanks to a DMCA takedown request, according to the game’s developer. The game allegedly uses certain assets from Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
>David Prassel of Trek Industries posted an update to one of the studio’s other games on Steam, Orion: Prelude, saying Orion (aka The Orion Project) was pulled from sale after a copyright claim.
>Prassel cites a portion of the takedown request in his post, which says the notice was issued "on behalf of Activision, who alleges that the game Orion uses weapon art content from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. The weapon art in question includes the M8A7 rifle, the Haymaker rifle, and the Bal-27 rifle."
Orion was pulled without advance notice from Activision or Valve, Prassel said, in the middle of Steam’s ongoing sale. Orion was being sold for $0.49, down from its regular price of $0.99.

They don't even look the same though
At least use the comparison pic anon made you fucking retard.

This
It's a fucking 99 cent game

>>343074042
Good. Fuck these lazy, shitty indie devs who steal content.
I have a friend who makes 'music' and literally all he does is steal other peoples work, throws it into FL Studio or similar and adjusts it enough to make it sound different and then goes around calling himself a songwriter and a producer.
Fuck these talentless hacks.
>>343074042
FK I just realized that, gonna read more
>>343074415
well yea right now it is.
It was arround 15-20$ in JAN, i got it as a gift back then tho from a 4channer
I know it's easy to immediately assume Activision are being dicks, but they actually have a case here.
The head dev for Trek is a well know Russian piece of shit. He's been caught constantly stealing assets from other games before. Been doing it for years actually, since all the way back in the Half-Life 1 modding days.
This gun isn't even the worst of it. In the cash shop for Orion, there are a shit ton of copyrighted hats that are assets ripped straight from other games. They're straight up making profit off those.
So I have like 0.90 euro left should I but that shit?
>>343074750
it's taken down from the store.
all that's left are the other orion games.
Thomas Moreau, a contracted 3D artist (from France, so excuse the English), told Cucktaku:
I was contacted by David Prassel email one year ago on this work, after receiving my typical 25% deposit of $ 500 I began on work. Around a month later, I finished the work and sent it to Prassel, after some modifications, he agreed and said it was finished. He was supposed to send me the rest of the payment that week, but he never did.
I asked him a few days after the money was due, and he said they were subject to tax work and need another week. It was strange for me, but I said OK. Two weeks came but without any reply. I sent him again, but he never responded in one year now. Instead of paying or responding, he ignores me and then uses some of my models in the game.
Composer Marcus Zuhr is another claiming to have been burned by Spiral during development of the game.
David used me, my contacts, and my music to further his agenda for over a year. We had fairly lofty profit sharing agreements at the time, including a salary and company shares. I set him up with many meeting through my own industry contacts, and flew from Canada on my own dime to help in San Francisco and Seattle multiple times on business. After his successful Kickstarter (utilizing my music of course), and our meetings at GDC 2011, he promptly "fired" me. David continued to use my music, against my will, until I properly threatened legal action.
>>343074825
You mean ORION: Prelude?Its on the store what are you on about?
>>343074920
no, that's not orion.
orion is just named orion.
orion was taken down from the store.
>>343074920
>>343074987
Yep it was the new game they released in JAN
first name: Guardians of Orion
then: The Orion Proyect
final name(at least until now): ORION
>tfw bought it two days ago for $0.50
>it is now a rare game
I love owning games that get pulled from steam
>>343074920
orion:prelude is the first game
This one is the new one they did or were doing
Not too long ago, a video was released of Orion: Prelude containing what looks to be an exact copy of Natural Selection 2′s armory. It was quickly made private and a new edited version put up when people started questioning the origins of said armory. News quickly arose that the armory was an “inspired” placeholder which had made its way into the demo build for PAX.
This isn’t the first time Spiral Studios had been accused of stealing content. Many alleged models and weapon sounds (which have an uncanny likeness to Counter-Strike might I add) are said to be taken from countless other games, and this has been a constant throughout the development of the Orion series. According to some, they took a T-Rex render from Primal Carnage and skewed the portions slightly, retextured it, and redid the head. You don’t need sharp eyes to spot just how similar the models are; just by looking at the feet and scales you can tell it’s a copy/paste job. I can imagine Spiral Studios’ lack of appearance at the Game Developers Conference was sorely missed by many an indie dev who were ready to shower them with praise and placeholders alike.
>>343075135
Lmao its multiplayer only, shit is gonna be deader than usual now.
>>343074920
I have orion prelude and its kinda shitty.
Fighting dinosaurs could've been great but instead it is shit but whatever it was like $1
>>343075319
Eh, I don't care about actually playing it. Just having them is enough.
It'll go nicely next to my APB Retail and Dragon Age II. There's a bunch of other ones I wish I had, too.

>That being said, we will be ensuring that Activision covers for the damages they've inflicted, both by removal of the game during the largest event of the year as well as malicious and invalid claims which acted as slander and defamation.
But we will ensuring this in a way that doesn't have us wasting time in a courtroom, obliterating production - and still allows to develop the game at full speed.
We will be starting a crowdfunding event later today. This is to cover:
1. what we are missing out on the largest event.
2. the damages we've taken on from Activision.

Why do you care? Both games suck, you don't earn karma here, so why do you care about some dumb squabble?
>Orion
And nothing of value was lost
Got the game for 49c so I can't be too upset. Devs latest post tells me that the game isn't going any further than it is now though, that's a shame.
Surprised it took so long with stuff like this in the game.
>>343075869
that's because the botchling that APB: reloaded is, has replaced it.
feels bad buying into the dream for the servers to shut down.
>>343075869
i havent lookd a it recently,
What was its symbol, it is now like this
>>343076489
God, I will always be mad about that.
"APB has released!.. btw we have no money for operating costs and will be shutting down in a month"
It was my dream game for the longest time. APB:R at least let me keep my clothes but fuck it's some Pay2win bullshit
lmao he's deleting all negative comments in the steam discussion @ Orion Prelude.
>>343074042
Those aren't the same assets though
You can see clear differences in the models
But I guess now Activision and other large development companies have the power to do whatever the fuck they want now and removing a 99 cent game is apparently this important
Might as well remove any game that uses the same real world guns as them at this rate
>>343076937
David James pls go
>>343076724
LOL thousands of negative comments on Orion:Prelude about this shit

>>343076473
Nickl Helmet is the Blood Dragon helmet from Mass Effect 2/3
>>343077082
The only thing that's the same in that comparison is the top piece. Everything else is different. And even then a lot of video game guns are designed with similar top pieces.
>>343076937
>Might as well remove any game that uses the same real world guns as them at this rate
You still think anyone will take your opinion seriously with this?
Don't you know you have to pay for using weapons like the AK-47?
They have to pay to Activision one way or another.
>>343077243
You have to pay the people who own the rights to those guns, not Activision.
>>343077178
Yea wouldn't surprise me if most of those were stolen. I know they have a metroid helmet somewhere in there.
Also that's only helmets. The hats list is even bigger, and probably has a ton of stolen shit in it as well.
>>343077385
But these are "original" (Activision devs might have taken some inspiration from other designs, but that is not plagiarism, it isn't that original) designs from the devs of those CoDs
They can't win, they know well they won't.
>>343077729
Those guns aren't the exact same though. The stolen helmets I understand, but the guns have distinct differences to them. The only similarities in the OP being the top piece, the actual body is different.
They stole things, but not from Activision.
>>343077895
THE GUN PICTURE IN THIS THREAD CLEARLY TAKES GUN PARTS FROM IT AND MASHES THEM TOGETHER
SO DOES THIS IMAGE: https://i.sli.mg/xpIy1W.png
DAVID JAMES PLS GO
>>343077729
>>343077972
we are talking about you have to pay the real owners of the models when u use real guns like AK-47
not Shittivision
>>343077895
>only the top piece
Relook at OPs pic again. Several parts of the gun are copied and in the same position.
>>343077972
Anon, let me fucking explain something to you.
When you have copyright on a piece of art - like a model - you don't own everything that was ever or could ever be inspired by that art. You don't even own things that are your art but slightly different.
All you own is the exact thing that you made. If those models are not 1:1 copies, or substantially similar (i.e. 1:1 copies with different lettering) then the copyright holder has no claim.
Copyrighting H2O doesn't give you a copyright on H3O or 2HO.
>>343077972
There are differences in the model at the bottom and its design isn't even a 1:1 with a single gun, if you're going to take a handful of guns and say this one gun took stuff from all those other guns then I guarantee any company could sue one another with that amount of cherrypicking.
>>343078357
>>343078561
The model is identical. The lines are identical. They chopped up the models and put them back together and then slightly modified the texture.
If it had taken inspiration from, but was clearly it's own thing, that would be fine. That is what you are talking about.
>>343078085
Aren't these guns all futuristic and shit? Activision devs might have taken inspiration from real guns but it's still their work. These, on the other hand, are Frankenstein's guns.
>>343078561
>cherrypicking
Rearranging someone else's models doesn't mean you don't need their permission.
>>343078085
Not the same anon >>343077972
I'am this fag >>343077729
I don't know if my facts are right, but, isn't a slightly edited model still copyright infringement?
>>343078561
Are you fucking blind?
I think you aren't, but it might be that you get confused by the textures, we're talking about the model. You can clearly see that the textures are different.
>>343074042
Didn't the dev come out and say he was going to beat out Star Citizen or some stupid shit like that?
>>343074247
So a new update.
They made an indiegogo, and set the goal to only $500.
The first donation they received? $500from their own company.
Why's that important? Because once the goal is met, any future contributions are automatically charged. So now anyone that donates can't get a refund unless they force a chargeback.
classy
>>343079578
>So now anyone that donates can't get a refund unless they force a chargeback.

They won't go to court. In fact, I'd bet they'll do everything they can to not to go to court because they know how fucked they are by stealing so much shit.
David is the adult-version of that kid who's always talking shit and never backs it up.
>>343074042
The Orion devs are huge faggots and this is like the 20th time this kind of thing has happened.
Prelude ended up being fun in survival for a few hours with friends though.
>>343080219
Nice strawmanman you have there, buddy.
>>343080219
>>343080347
Check the previous posts. This isn't a case of something being a knockoff, this is a case of it being literally copied wholesale and rearranged. The model parts of the guns are identical. That's the issue. And as it stands, Activision aren't entirely groundless. It's as if someone copied the AK47 model from CoD - the problem isn't that nobody can have an AK47, it's that nobody can have THEIR AK47.
>>343080618
This
One of their achievement thumbnail images is literally just cropped Turok boxart.
>>343080595
This. Don't know how much profit they've made with the game but it's a penny against Activision. Going to court will be a death sentence.
>>343080595
How is that thing called? That agreement both sides do without intervention of the law?
Well they can make that, paying Activision a generous sum, but this very unlikely given that they act like the victim here.

Not sure of each websites copywrite protections but it's likely that they can't just take those photos.
The fact that they're enhanced on a detail, have a different hue or the one that's turned to the side seems to indicate that the guy was trying to make sure no one recognized the original so I doubt they bought the rights to use them.
>>343082275
From what I understand of how these things work, they don't give a shit about the profit they lost, they're sending the message that they will protect their assets so that others don't think they can do the same stuff and get off free. Doing this is a hell of a lot cheaper and faster than taking someone to court.

It's nice to see these assholes get slammed again. I remember the whole Orion Dino Beatdown thing.
I bought it like six months in advanced before anything surfaced about them being an ultra shitty company and ended up playing a match with David. He's a real cunt, he asked in-game if there were any bugs and told anyone who mentioned a bug to fuck off and it's their own computer not his game.

Stop it. This is too much for my sides.
Damn, I even had appreciation for his company. The way they listened to criticism and feedback and remade the game many times until it was good enough was great. Not many companies are willing to put that work into a 1 dollar product. Most people instead of finishing the game, would just start a new one.
I cant believe this is the same guy.

holy shit those models arent the same at all. i dont understand why ANYONE would defend ACTIVISION over a small indie dev under any circumstances. the game is being sold for less than a dollar let the guy make a living for fucks sake

David pls
Also that's the least piece of criminating evidence in a sea of like, 40+ things.

Yes. They changed the name.

No quarter here either, David. Move along.

No it's another game based on the same IP.
It started out as a top down shooter, then moved to 3rd person and then 1st person and shit.
He just can't make up his mind.
>>343074042
Holy shit how did this not happen sooner?
I remember buying that game for me and some friends to fuck around with like 2 years ago and laughing about how it's straight up ripped off stuff from Borderlands, Gears of War, Halo CE etc.
>>343085493
>i dont understand why ANYONE would defend ACTIVISION over a small indie dev under any circumstances
David pls go
this is a game where you can wear Boba Fett's helmet, and the copywrite issue was a gun.
Alright
>>343076937
The main problem is that the weapon from AW is an "original" weapon.
It's not based on anything, other than maybe vaguely representing a real life AR.
Activision has a case. Orion devs don't.
>>343085781
Disney doesn't quite get vidya just yet. I mean, they sold their rights to EA of all things.
>>343085781
because the devs can say the boba fett helmet is a homage/parody/whatever while the gun is made of literally made of stolen assets
>>343076473
That isn't too bad. The game is only 49 cents, Disney doesn't give a shit.
Activision is ultra jew though so they gotta make sure that they get their 49 cents back
>>343086005
Or maybe they get vidya all too well

>>343086063
>Disney doesn't give a shit.
kek
Also it's a cash shop item. If it was just a regular thing everyone could get, that would make sense. But they're making money off it without Disney's consent so there's nothing questionable about it.
>>343086063
And Disney isn't? Copyright laws are practically formed around the mouse. If they haven't taken action it's because they have a million other people in line for their attack.

Most of the guns featured in Black Ops 3 and Advanced Warfare are completely fictional future weapons, and don't need to be licensed by Activision because they are original, ergo Activision owns the models.
So who wants to bet that no one actually told him to take down the game. He just took it down himself when word started getting around. All these DELETE THIS threats are him trying to remove the evidence from the internet.
But the jew was strong so now he's trying to get sympathy bucks.

the guns ARE pretty similar but they're definitely not the same thing.
I feel like they don't really have a case, to be honest, but he probably shouldn't have cut out that part of the gun and just stuck it on his. It's definitely the most borderline copyright infringement thing I've ever seen.

You are getting tricked. Even you clearly agree that he cut up pieces of someone else property and combined it to make something new. He just never got permission to do so. How do they not have a case? This isn't even up for debate you can just look at the images and it's pretty obvious. I'm surprised the dev had the balls to post that victim post like he did nothing wrong.

The gun(s) in AW are not based on any weapon(s), they're original creation.

iirc someone bought 500k worth of keys from the dev site store with stolen credit cards, charged back and then sold the keys on g2a for something like 350k

No you fucking idiot. Next time don't copy assets 1:1.
>>343091062
Just Googled it, and I can already tell that anon is making shit up. G2A didn't do anything, it's just a case of people charging back on payments of their games, but the keys are still valid. People then sell/trade the keys away and they wind up on G2A.
>>343091050

>>343091202
Sounds like a felonious lawsuit. When hunnid stacks are involved, charge backs wont save you.
Imagine the fucking rampant scamming that would happen if people could magically front a few hundred thousand because of a loophole
oh gods my sides this debacle has in fact made my entire day,
thanks David. never stop the damage control
>>343091369
the thing is, g2a said they aren't going to do shit unless the devs partner with them to sell keys directly from g2a
>>343091432
they stole assets before, I think it was from natural selection 2
>>343091387
Big companies like Activishit don't DMCA youtubers, most of it comes from shitty indies who get mad when people don't like their shitty games.

>>343090941
>I'll trade ya some Dota2 invites!
>SOLD!
>>343091369
But the keys weren't ever given to G2A to sell, they were bought from the dev's site with a stolen credit card, then sold on G2A. The chargebacks came from whoever's credit card was stolen when they realised what happened.

>>343091537
Well what do they expect them to do? Pay them back for every copy they sold? And how are they going to prove which ones were purchased with stolen credit cards? And why is this only going to be limited to that dev only? The time and resources spent trying to fix what Valve should be on top of (like not letting the keys stay valid by default and forcing the devs not to kill the key the on their own because it makes them look like dicks, also the time it takes to realize the chargeback to kill theh key is too long) is not reasonable.
can someone tell me how come he couldn't be hacked in that reddit pick? one IP starts with 76 and the other starts from 192. they are obviously different. why isn't that a hack?
>>343092026
Don't reply.
I'm sure it's the same anon that posted all the baits of this thread.
>>343092303
192 is a local IP. Like a router IP. Also Russia doesn't have Verizon Wireless.

The reddit thread is pretty telling of both sides of the issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/4q6xo5/activisions_dmca_claim_on_orion_is_legit_orions/
I thought Orion was guilty prior to either thread, but stuff like hacking into your own reddit account, and trying to prove it by posting a screencap of yourself using a Russian vpn on your home network? That's fucking comedy gold. This Dave guy is either hopelessly deluded or an extremely determined scam artist.

>>343084818
It means that any money is automatically put down, rather than held in limbo for the duration of the fundraiser. If it failed, then those people would get their money back. Since it's already fulfilled, they will not unless they force a chargeback. Even then, indiegogo will likely pay for the chargebacks and then subsequently charge Trek. If trek chooses not to pay, then indiegogo will have to repay all the money while David goes to some country with loose laws (if he's not already there).
He's a scam artist, no doubt about it.
>>343094763
At this point? Nothing.
Any person with integrity or a brain cell would've contacted Acitvision, apologized, removed the assets, apologized to the fans, then ask Activision to contact Steam to put the game back up. This would've saved him. It would've hurt his business because he dun fucked up, but he'd still be in business.

By not using it 24/7 really. Also it helps that I use dark themes wherever I can. I don't understand how most people can stare at those white pages for hours.
I've been using spidr.today more often, and while they don't do video game news, they do have current events and global politics. If I find something better for video games, then I'm good to leave leddit behind.

>>343098854
No, that's another retard.
>>343081725
So he says he was hacked and here's "proof".
So Russia, and the IP is 192.168.etc... Isn't that usually local IPs? Something seems odd there. He probably shooped it. Or hired someone to shoop it and then fired them after it was done.

>>343100765
The former sounds like some kind of advertisement for a talk showor strip show
HAY, SO THE GAME IS MADE IN UE3 RIGHT?
is someone can get me the gun models files from this shitfest and blops 3 i can compare them in maya
>>343100765
Live as in live in your house.

its probably how he made the rest of his games just no one noticed or cared.
You guys are making fun of him, but he built something here. He made a solid hame.

Maybe Sony can sue From Soft for reused DeS assets in DaS and reused BB assets in DaS3?
Sony oughta do that 2bh
>>343077972
Are we talking about literal stolen assets (like elements were ripped from Blops3 and place in Orion), or are we talking about the guns that looks almost the same (trampling on IP)?
The models in Orion are clearly different. All of the indents and things are in different places, proportions are close but not exact. This isn't asset stealing, it's more like tracing, which is still shit but not as bad.
Riddle me this /v/Why do indie devs always turn out to be insufferable man children?

You can't fool me, mother fucker, I actually played it.
>>343096557
I love /v/ for exactly that reason
>>343102108
Buy the game again, anon. It's better now. The dev is very competent.
>>343101937
naw, its stolen then modified, i can tell just by looking at them. i wana take both models and load them into maya for a side by side comparison of the polygons actually
>>343101313
Yes, he did build something. Then he burned it to the ground and pissed on the ashes.
This guy threatening to sue people is not very smart. Threatening legal action in this manner can get you in serious trouble.
If he threatens someone that actually knows their shit and has some money could take him to court over the threats(as he has no intention of actually suing them). Why? because if Someone threatens legal action they must be prepared to carry it out. example;
>I will sue you if you do not remove this libel !
I will not remove the content you describe as libelous. I await contact from your lawyer
meanwhile you hire a lawyer and begin groundwork for you defense. the guy does not contact you and it turns out he had no intention of taking legal action.
you can now sue him because you spent time effort and money to begin your defense against the legal action he announced that he would take but failed to.
People cannot throw around threats of a civil action like this if they are not going to back up those threats because it leaves them open to being sued.
This guy is a complete fucking retard.
>>343101313
Dino Beatdown was far from solid and also had stolen assets, just because it was rebranded multiple times doesn't change that it was shit.
>>343075227
Orion was Halo with Dinosaurs right? I remember someone posting concept art and shit on the flamehaus when HL2 modding was cool, he got laughed out of the forum.

Hi 4chan David here. Going to be honest now. Yes I f***ed up but please leave me alone. This game is all I have to pay my bills and you are killing it. I will stop and admit my mistakes if you stop too please.

This is all over the civilized world.
and it is about threatening to sue someone explicitly when you have no intention nor grounds to do so.
>>343102285
This is what I'd like to see too.
Editing textures and bump maps is easy and can make he guns looks pretty different. An exact polygonal match would be damning though.
>>343101942
Big companies have manchildren as well, they just also have a PR division.
How many game developers or technophiles do you know that aren't deeply autistic in some way?
When your job revolves around making a fictional world, it's pretty easy to forget that things are different in the real world. That doesn't excuse their actions though.
Fuck Phil Fish in his bearded hipster mouth.
He got caught stealing game assets AGAIN? Jesus Valve, take his dev status away already.
>>343102819
Nice try.
>>343102859
That is not what libel is.
if i call you a retarded cunt it is an insult not libel, if i call you a thief (if you are not) that is libel.

This is not David, guys. David is 100% innocent.
David is a great man that got fucked by his employees(He paid them), he had nothing to do with the stolen models.

When you insult someone you are stating your opinion of them, to call someone a thief or murderer etc is not a statement of an opinion it is something that is either true or false.

Not a 99 cent game, a $15 game that was renamed twice, had the price eventually dropped to $1 and added a fucking cash shop.
>>343099276
Ayy.
Good find anon.
>>343104093
He was being a massive fucking sperg about a massive companies buisness practices when it had nothing to do with the game or his situation.
Valve probably did him a favor. He was just putting himself in a deeper hole.

Yes you can. Plenty of indie devs do it all the time. So did the Planetary Annihilation devs when people were calling their shitty game out for costing 99 dollars in alpha. I'm surprised Valve did anything about this.
>>343102415
Sometimes I am remembered that despite the memes, this place is full of professionals, tarding out in their free time.
Does anyone have the game and can post more of the game's assets? I want to see what else can be recognized as stolen.
