fuck that shit. anything that has 2 eyes, 1 nose and a mouth i will sue till the end of days. how dare people have similarities. you either fucking ask my permission or pay big time!

I counter sue you for stealing my idea!  And likeness of my post!

1. Starring in her own game means she gets money from that game.  She gets zero dollars from Last of Us.  Why should Last of Us get money off of her image, when she is getting none?  Now I'm not saying Last of Us is so great because a character looks like someone, but for an actor or actress where their Look is a major part of them, then I doubt its something they take lightly to being ripped of.  

2. PR stunt?  She didn't bring it up, someone asked her about it.  She said she was flattered, but seeing how she has her own game she did not appreciate it.

I just don't understand defenders of ND being so strong.   

1. She didn't bring it up

2. She responded very respectfully

3. She has her own game, and receives zero money from Last of Us.  Doesn't matter if both are Sony games.  

4. Everyone and their mother knows damn well it looks like Ellen Page.  It was brought to the huge limelight over a year ago.  ND even slightly changed the characters appearance to make it not soo damn blatantly obvious.  And when I say "slightly" I mean slightly.  It's like they took an Ellen Page avatar in a character creation screen and then moved one bar for example the nose from 24 to 32.  Then said, "there, the character is now Unique"

As usual I see rude comments in here about a public figure. Seeing as people has been mistaking Ellie for Ellen Page (even the name Ellie and Ellen is similar) since the reveal it is obvious that they look extremely similar and from an actor's perspective that is a pretty cheap way of cashing in on off her popularity where she gets no rewards out of it. Video games isn't like they was 10 years ago. Now acting goes hand in hand with voice acting and The Last of Us presents that very well and when people don't know what the game is but they are a fan of her and see someone who looks like her on the cover they may buy it thinking it is Ellen Page.

Let me use Brad Pitt as an example. It would be very crappy if a video game developer made someone look exactly like him but not cast him as the voice actor/actor because they are basically cashing in on his popularity without paying him.  And in some cases could hurt their reputation if the voice actor or game does bad.  Now that video games are starting to look more realistic this could potentially be a problem in the future.  Especially when you have a look a like on the front cover.

The problem is that this can't be taken to court because it can not be proven that they copied her looks as there is small differences to set them a part.  But ever since the reveal it has been obvious and now Ellen has even commented about it.

So, people have read this and the thread continues anyway?

you didnt watch inception? you are a very very bad human being 

I don't watch that many movies. My "entertainment time is mostly spent on gaming and listening to music"
