Blizzard is suing a series of companies and individuals over Glorious Saga, a PC and mobile game that it describes as a "massive infringement" of its Warcraft intellectual property, as reported by Polygon (https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/28/20836522/warcraft-copy-glorious-saga-lawsuit-blizzard-entertainment).
"Defendants did not just copy a few discrete elements from Blizzard's Warcraft games," Blizzard claims in the suit, which was filed earlier this month. "They created a game whose content is almost entirely copied from the Warcraft games and related products. Every character in the Infringing Game was copied from a character from the Warcraft games, and many even bear the names of popular characters from the Warcraft games such as Jaina Proudmoore, Gul'dan, and Malfurion.
