News::Broken Age (Act 1) Review | Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore Gamer: Its official. We can now count Double Fine among the developers who have stolen from Broken Sword wholesale or half-sale, if you want to be fair and also accurate. With Broken Age Act 1, Tim Schafer has unapologetically copied exactly half of Charles Cecils title, half of his two-part episodic structure (and Id wager hell copy the other half soon enough), and the entire concept of selling a traditional point and click adventure that was funded through Kickstarter. Some might argue that Schafer launched his campaign half a year before Cecil, and that in fact Revolution might not have tried to Kickstart at all if not for Double Fines success, but this is balderdash. Revolution Software went to market a whole two months ago, and since a game only exists once its being sold, all who followed them must be imitators. QED.
