So what is this new game Demigod?

(The Warcraft III map it's clearly based off is A) fan-created and B) a blatant rip-off of a rip-off in the first place, not to mention stolen if I remember my community drama. While the long-forgotten creator of the original Starcraft Aeon-of-Strife-style map might pop out of the woodworks and sue them, I somehow doubt it.)

I found these after a quick glance:

I looked at the so called demigods and found Kerrigan from Starcraft in string panties, the colossus from the Shadow of the Colossus, a german ubermensch with a colossal "snipercrossbow", a hydralisk from Starcraft, a chaos soldier from Warhammer... the list goes on and on.

Above posters are hopefully joking as copyright infringement doesn't work that way.

If they did not use the code, and they did not use the names AND likenesses (remember: these must be used together, and resemblance /= "likeness"), they did not infringe.
