In the gaming industry, certain features like character designs, story elements, and gameplay mechanics may appear familiar. However, outright copying another game is clearly unacceptable. This is the focus of the news at hand.

Mike Ybarra, the former President of Blizzard, recently criticized the game Marvel Rivals on social media, calling it an “Overwatch Marvel Rivals” clone. He drew parallels between this game and Horizon Zero Dawn, comparing it to the Chinese game Light of Motiram, which he described as a clear imitation of Horizon Zero Dawn. Ybarra also made a remark about the character names, pointing out the similarities between Overwatch’s Widowmaker and Marvel Rivals’ Black Widow. However, the comparison raised questions, as Black Widow has been around since 1964, while Widowmaker debuted much later. It’s unclear if Ybarra’s criticism was meant to be serious or sarcastic.
