No one exactly yanked the Bard's Tale copyright it was Brian Fargo's choice albeit a very bad one as the game he has described is not even remotely like the series of the same name. Its just inXile jumping on the Dark Alliance bandwagon of changing rpgs into action games with no similarities and retaining the title just to sucker a few fans into buying it.
