Just like how Nintendo should sue Sega for making a platformer. 

or whoever should be sued for Doom for being a Wolfenstein copy? 

or whoever else should be sued for making a puzzle game not tetris? 

Or sued for making an open world game not Grand Theft auto? 

or making an MMO that isn't Everquest or Ultima Online? (I honestly don't know what one came first)

So yeah, keep the stupid out of our thread, thanks.  Making a game in the same genre is not a copy.  That's how Genres work. 

Except these games are pretty much the same. Sonic isn't even remotely similar to Mario. Even when Sega tried to desperately copy Super Mario Galaxy with Sonic Lost World the result was very different.

They're about the 'same' as Battlefield and Call of Duty.  Same basic gameplay and controls, but a lot different to those who play them, and each is very unique, for better or for worse. different ways to strategize, the way band members interact is different, dfferent gameplay mechanics on each instrument, different scoring systems, etc.  Lots of subtle differences. 

Yet I doubt you could tell the difference between Call of Duty Ghosts and Battlefield 4. Even Rock band/Guitar Hero have different aesthetic looks.
