Bethesda Sues Warner Bros., Calls ‘Westworld’ Game ‘Blatant Ripoff’; Variety, June 22, 2018

Stefanie Fogel, Variety; Bethesda Sues Warner Bros., Calls ‘Westworld’ Game ‘Blatant Ripoff’

"Bethesda Softworks is suing Warner Bros. Entertainment and Canadian game developer Behaviour Interactive for allegedly using code from its “Fallout Shelter” game to create a new “Westworld” mobile app.

Bethesda filed the suit in a District of Maryland court on Thursday, Jun. 21. It’s accusing Behaviour of breach of contract, copyright infringement, unfair competition, and misappropriation of trade secrets. It’s also suing Warner Bros. for allegedly persuading Behaviour to breach that contract. It now wants both companies to remove each and every version of the “Westworld” mobile game from distribution and to stop developing and supporting it. They are also asking for undisclosed statutory and punitive damages."
