A pair of Chinese developers may end up in court over a copycat game

A Chinese company is suing one of its competitors for infringing on its intellectual property — even as it is fending off a legal battle with Blizzard for nearly the exact same thing.

Snail Games has announced its plans to sue developer Skymoons and publisher iQYIY for copyright infringement. Snail claims that Skymoons’ The Journey of Flower is a direct ripoff of Taichi Panda. Both are free-to-play mobile massively multiplayer role-playing apps, but Snail points out that the similarities go beyond genre.
