Nevertheless, blatant copying of unique art such as "Alien" indicates the lack of own creativity/originality/ideas, and may eventually result in a 08/15 game design that everyone can make. Blizz was so far know for unique, characteristic game designs despite the obvious influences from films like "Conan", "LOTR" etc. I'm wondering if the recent loss of most of the original Diablo/SC/WC staff has to do with the copying of i.e. "Ouro".

I don't buy it. We're dealing with a whole instance full of *bugs*, and there's only so many ways to draw them. Ok, so it's similar. Big deal.
