Agreed that stylistically they wear their inspirations on their sleeves, but it looks nowhere near as good as Sea of Thieves does (which is of course to be expected and totally fine, given it is an indie game). Sea of Thieves has some of the best stylized graphics I have ever seen, with the sea and storms especially looked incredible.

- I want to play Sea of Thieves
- We have Sea of Thieves at home

I don't mind. Fuck it, ripoff or not, if it improves on anything/create a new game-mode, then why shouldn't I play it?
Also, what is the next Sea of Thieves update?

I disagree, for me the best thing in Sea of Thieves is never knowing when you will find someone, making the encounters feel special all the time. In a BR game you are supposed to find someone and kill them all the time making those encounters not so cool
I'm really curious what will come of this. There's taking inspiration and then there's this. Is there any legal precedent for this one way or the other?
I wouldn't mind a BR mode in SoT but def shouldn't be the main focus. Also SoT combat is still really bad, I would not want any serious PvP modes in the game until they make combat better which at this point I doubt.
Fuck this, it sounds cliche'd as fuck, but damn they shouldn't be able to get away with this. This is blatantly stealing, literally.
Total Sea of Thieves rip-off in many ways, but will give it a shot. So long as it brings something new to the table, I'm cool with it.
I'm curious what the point of going to the islands is? Or do you start on the islands and then find your ship?

Lol. They even copied the clunky combat.
They missed one thing though, Sea of Thieves has soul and atmosphere.

Ain't nobody is going to play AC ships - the multiplayer. It was fine as a mini-game in the single-player game. Ship-controlling is not going to happen...
Now if they manage to salvage it into something closer to character-teamwork based gameplay (5 players per ship)... The game is definitely going through reworks and changes of priority, so either a full campaign mode or the complete gameplay revamp from what they pitched previously.
Wow. That is unbelievably similar. Even if they have a cool new take on pirate ship battles, I'll never be able to see it as more than a sea of Thieves rip off.
What if this is just a long con, and the real intent is to make a fully pirate-themed Fortnite season happen
But there's already a BR-like mode in SoT, it's called Arena and have been on the game since last year.
From what I've heard it's ok, meaning it doesn't seem to be anything exceptional.
But, honestly, this looks like an infringement. It could in my opinion be confused with Sea of Thieves, it could tarnish the brand or cause people to buy it thinking it is the same game?
Do you think this kind of copying should be allowed, legally? Should MS take some.action or this should be allowed? I don't know, I want to know your opinion on the matter, have a discussion about it? I mean, even the discussion here has been entirely upon the fact.

It's one thing to be inspired by something and make your version, this just feels like one of those mobile knockoff games.
Its quite disappointing really because being able to put all of this together as an indy team, they must have quite a bit of talent behind them. To waste it on a clone of Sea of Thieves is just disappointing to see.
With that said, I could be wrong but I don't see it as being illegal as some are suggesting. Just look at the mobile space and you'll see this is actually really common. So long as they haven't directly copied anything (code, assets etc), it's probably fine.
