I get Ellen Page's gripe. She's making her own game and having to compete with her likeness isn't a situation she should be in considering she didn't give ND permission to use it.
I've just started playing TLOU (pretty awesome so far) and I think ND did a good job distancing Ellie from Page by redoing the visuals on her. But to those who don't think it was originally ND's intent to use her likeness, just look at the before and after pictures of Ellie on google and you'll see she was clearly (initially) modeled after Ellen Page.
Now that Ellie's been changed, I don't think Page can stick to the notion that ND "ripped" off her image, because they did change it. However, like one actress who looks like another, even if they aren't twins or each other's doppleganger, they can still look similar enough to cause confusion to the consumer. Just look at Jeffrey Dean Morgan/Javier Bardem/Robert Downey Jr. I can see Ellen Page getting a little frustrated over that even though Ellie's been changed enough to not be considered the actress's spitting image.
