Blizzard has successfully sued a Chinese Hearthstone 'clone' for £1.6 million
Although the dev says otherwise
Blizzard has successfully sued Chinese dev Unico for, to all intents and purposes, copying Hearthstone. You can see a screenshot from the offending game, Crouching Dragon Legends, above.
Unico has stated publicly that it has received no communication from the court telling it to pay the $1.6 million in damages, and that it is discussing with its lawyers about options to take against news outlets that report these 'false' claims.
According to Kotaku, Crouching Dragon Legends play almost exactly like Hearthstone, but features a Romance of the Three Kingdoms era setting rather than WoW's chunky fantasy.
The game was taken down from a variety of app stores when the original claim was filed earlier in the year, and its servers have been on hold since February.
Unico has said it will refund players who spent any money in Crouching Dragon Legends.
