Copy?

[Kieran-R]

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen/played this game: http://www.the-destroyers.com/

I was just on it there, and its a COMPLETE copy of torn city! Everything about it with a few exceptions is exactly the same as torn. I was wondering if this guy has somehow "stole" the torn codes or something. Because in reality, the guy who owns this game couldnt have made so many parts of his game that similar to torn.

He pays people to make mods for the site.

It's mostly stolen HTML to get the look. I even worked on a few mods for it.

You're right he did not make the game so similar to torn, however he did pay people to do it for him. Every post i have seen from the owner has been for paid mods like torns...

Anyone he did not steal anything directly off torns site that I know of.

Took a look around his site, found he has a 2nd http://www.death-wars.co.uk much better in my opinion ;)

There are a fair few copies of "torn" around, and a few of them earn the owners small amounts of money. You should never really be able to over take the game you copy, nevertheless most people don't think about that. Games like this are made mainly from players who love the original, but feel something is wrong e.g. staff cheating (not saying torn has any) etc.

Crimevalley is a good example
