Easy on the harsh tone. I still don't see why it's necessary. And be careful to call people's arguments stupid, ridiculous, failing, awful, etc. when your own arguments aren't of higher quality. Sports games were a big part of the Eyetoy Play series (I thought you had played those) and for instance boxing, table tennis, bowling and volleyball were part of the Eyetoy play series before Eyetoy Play Sports and Wii Sports even launched. But whatever.

 

1: Sigh.. Again, I never used the word rip off. You did and I believed it was unnecessary as companies are inspired by each other all the time.

2: Completely different? You said that Move and its motion controlled games were rip offs of Nintendo. I think there's a possibility that Nitnendo was inspired by the Eyetoy to make the Wii. Then the Wii inspired Sony to make the Move. But this is going nowhere so yeah. I agree. Waste of time.

That's the way I write.  If I'm doing something you think warrants moderation, feel free to click the button. I will call awful arguments awful if they are.  I will say an argument fails if it does.  When you're claiming that a game was inspired by a game that came out around the same time, and was announced after it was well into development, then that is an awful argument that fails.  You're adding more stuff to it now (btw I never said I'd played any of the eye toy games), but I responded to the argument you gave me, which was undeniably ridiculous, failing, stupid, awful etc.  You're free to call my arguments stupid if you could show that they are.  Judging by the fact you didn't, I'm going to assume they stand. 

I said the move was a rip off of the Wii, and Sports Champions was a rip off, and that Everybody Dance was a rip-off.   There are other Move games that weren't.  As for there being a possibility that Nintendo was inspired by the Eye Toy, no. there is absolutely none.

Underlined: I like how you still call my arguments ridiculous, failing, stupid and awful. Funnily it seems to be when you don't know how to respond. You completely ignored the fact that the Eyetoy Play series included boxing, table tennis, bowling, volleyball, etc. How convenient ;)

Bolded: See, my problem is your black and white argument where one company is ripping off and another isn't even in the least bit inspired. Imo both of these examples below are products of a company being inspired but according to you:

Inspired? Yes, "blatant rip off".

 

Inspired? No, "not in the least bit".

 

This is indeed a waste. I'm done.
