It’s clear to us that Stardock chose to make Origins substantially similar to SC2 instead of using the original material they purchased in SC3. We don’t claim to have a copyright on all interstellar travel, but we do have a copyright on the specific way we expressed interstellar travel in Star Control II. We see many such examples in Star Control: Origins where its expression is substantially similar to and/or derivative of our copyright-protected work, without our permission.

This is 100% accurate. Play Origins and UQM side by side and the travel method is identical.

But isn't that a mechanic? And you can't copyright mechanics, can you?

Anything that gives you a dopamine hit can be addictive if you're wired for it.
Some devs/publishers of sites and games have based their whole business model around targeting these people.

They had a beta, and the beta was the full game. Everyone knew what they are getting this was not a secret.

Lots of high profile gamers streamed the beta and a number of reviewers put up first impressions as well. Bethesda was also very clear since E3 as to exactly what kind of game it was going to be.

The debate has nothing to do with what kind of game it is. The debate has to do with the fact that a fully released and paid for game hit the shelves unplayable for many, and that those that requested a refund on this merit were denied. This is why Bethesda skipped Steam, which would have allowed a refund in this case.

The only other remedy at this point is a stop payment. Bethesda doesn't want to get hit with a ton of those, so perhaps they should institute a fair refund policy like what Valve has instituted with Steam

First off, They did not skip steam because of refunds. They did it like most others are doing to avoid the 30 percent payout to Steams greed machine. I cant blame anyone for doing that when their profits are being handed out to steam like that.

Secondly, The game was not unplayable by any stretch. Yes, there were bugs, but the game was still playable. Some people were complaining just to complain and piled on the game to whine about stupid bullshit that was not warranted.

I’m not a fallout fan, but my wife is. As soon as they said the new Fallout would be multiplayer, she lost all interest. Somehow, while MOST games are automatically BETTER when you add in multiplayer, Bethesda managed to make theirs worse.
