Ubisoft and Gametrailers sued over alleged Assassin's Creed copyright infringement

Ubisoft and Gametrailers sued over alleged Assassin's Creed copyright infringement

Assassin's Creed did seem like a pretty original concept when it was first introduced (those who play the game know what I'm talking about), but apparently author John Beiswenger doesn't think so. He has since filed a lawsuit against Ubisoft and Gametrailers alleging that the Assassin's Creed franchise "stole" core ideas from his novel, Link. The novel was published in 2002 while the game only arrived in 2007. According to Beiswenger, he claims that several aspects of the game were stolen ideas from his book.
