@s0apt0ken, while I understand your point, I don't think that any sort of plagiarism is OK. You need to come up with your own ideas, or credit whose ideas you take (although if you copied the main plot of a movie, even if you did credit it, in this situation it is still disappointing; an homage, as my friend pointed out, would be OK, but this appears to me to be much more than an homage).
- 5 years ago@3enilly Havent you heard there is no more originality in the world. I for one think this is more inspiration. They may have used a details similar to the movie, but it's not as if theyr using every last bit of the film word for word. By your logic or at least what I'm gathering from it, if someone came up with an idea or discovered something no one is allowed to draw inspiration from it. Then at which point everything would come to a standstill. Back in the nineties companies actually patented genes. If that were allowed to continue then many medical discoveries wouldn't come to pass.

@3enilly This is not plagiarism at all. It's just inspiration. They are completely different.
And at this point nobody really cares. It's a good plot regardless of how it was created.

Nah, plagiarism would be passing off a comparable product as their own and profiting off it.
This is a deliberate nod at Interstellar, and Apex is full of references to other cultural works and tropes.
Were you equally outraged with:
- Pathfinder's Wizard of Oz dive emote
- Mirage's voiceline 'Ladies and Gentlemen.. we got em!'
- Mirage Voyage portraying the famous Titanic boy scene
- Gibraltar and Path posing in the Edge of Tomorrow loading screen
- the Crypto banner animation emulating Nosferatu's Count Orlok
(there's dozens of them)
I personally like how the developers are putting homages into their game to these awesome bits of culture.
Is there anything more appropriate in the age of memes?
