Officials from Japanese developer System Soft Alpha have been forced to issue a formal apology to Koei after a lawsuit settlement concerning similarities between CG footage developed for
Sangokushi Epic and Koei’s
Sangokushi VII (aka
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII).
Although the developer originally denied claims of intellectual piracy the company will now have to make restitutions to Koei, in addition to the apology.
