Stellaris: Galaxy Command steals Halo 4 artwork, pulled down temporarilyA new mobile game from Paradox Interactive has been pulled because fans noticed some similarities to another game's art.
What you need to know
Stellaris: Galaxy Command is a spin on the popular strategy game Stellaris.
Players noticed that the game was using artwork taken from Halo 4.
The game has been taken offline temporarily to remove this artwork.
Paradox Interactive issued an apology on Twitter.
Earlier today, we reported on the announcement of Stellaris: Galaxy Command, a new MMO take on the game Stellaris, designed for mobile devices. Just hours after the game was announced and beta testing went live in a handful of countries however, the game has been pulled. Players noticed an extreme similarity to art from another science-fiction game: Halo 4.
You can see the offending copycat work below on the left, compared to the original artwork from Halo 4 on the right. You can click to enlarge the images.
This goes well beyond being inspired by a piece of art or even using it...
