You mean the strong relationship where EA ground Mythic Entertainment into dust in their disastrous attempt to compete with WOW, before renaming the developer under the Bioware label to drum up support in a half assed resurrection of the arena combat in Warhammer Online?SajuukKhar said:
He got fired really quick after White Wolf noticed. Only it happened after the book was published. I really don't know how nobody noticed beforehand, though. I can only assume nobody ever played DMC aside from this one guy. But how did he think that nobody else would draw comparison between a a hunter of demons (and other supernatural thinks) and Dante, who is a demon hunter. The main difference between the two is that the sword is swapped with a gun, for crying out loud. If he had made some changes, such as changing the clothes, say, add a backpack[footnote]the Aegis Kai Doru are basically ancient order of archaeologists who use magical artefacts to kill threats to humanity...erm, it may seem like Dante again, but it's more different.[/footnote] and a different hair, then maybe he could have gotten away with it. But adding a shirt, buttons to the coat and swapping the sword with a firearm is not really something I'd expect nobody to notice. Even the friggin' spear at the bottom left is still there. That's really just being utterly lazy.GamerMage said:How did he get away with that?! It's so obvious!DoPo said:Wow, this must be embarrassing.

Yes. unfornatly when most people think of Starship Troopers now or days they think of the movies. The first one was okay the others....not so much. And in that movie the Troopers are a lot different from the books. I haven't really read the book/s but I know and have seen excerpts from them.Hal10k said:
In this age of moovies and video games, are you really that surprised that somebody doesn't know the age of a book that is the basis for almost every single science fiction game out there? And not only that, but would actually think that this book came out after the rather hack-job of Warhammer 40k? Granted, although not surprised I am dismayed. It wouldn't take a genius to google "Starship Troopers" or go to Wikipedia, but I digress. This is the whole "The Titanic is realz?!" thing over again.Hal10k said:

XD i clicked the first one, said hey... that looks like dante, clicked the second one hey.... that looks like dante... o wait. I can only assume that it was the lack of color that kept them from seeing dante in that picture because otherwise there would be no way.DoPo said:He got fired really quick after White Wolf noticed.
