They are another "publish tech-demo/outsourced concept videos and hope for wishlists" group.

As someone who used to play WoW a lot, that first game, Orc Warchief? I'm pretty damn sure Blizzard would like a word with them. While I fully realize that Orcs are NOT exclusive to WoW, having Orcs in your game, calling their organization "The Horde," and having the leader of said Horde be a Warchief? I'd be shocked if this was all a huge coincidence.

Seeing as Blizzard took what they did for Warcraft and StarCraft from Games Workshop...

Gonna be showing my ignorance here but my knowledge of Games Workshop is rather bare. Could you elaborate some more on that, please, so I know the full story?

Supposedly, WarCraft started as a Warhammer license game, although to my knowledge nobody at the Warhammer license owner (Games Workshop) ever heard of such a thing. Although Blizzard admitted in the past times that Warhammer as a game was a blatant Dune II/C&C1 rip-off, and considering all their other games are freely "borrowing" game design ideas from everywhere else, at least nobody was surprised there. But their entire WarCraft world is an obvious Warhammer clone with just enough changes in some art and names that it is not holding up in court as a copyright infringement. Pretty much every game they ever made follows this formula, you can trace back most of their stories and art style to known elements, and a large portion of them are openly taken by Warhammer and other Games Workshop stuff.

Welcome to just about any concept ever.
