Limbo of the Lost: is this some kind of joke?

In case you haven't heard, adventure game Limbo of the Lost is in a bit of trouble. Their publisher has dropped the game after it was found that Majestic Studio's game contained a bevy of stolen resources. These resources include, but are not limited to Crysis, Oblivion IV, Oblivion III, Unreal Tournament 2003, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Painkiller, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Black & White, Thief: Deadly Shadows, WoW, Diablo 2, Lord of the Rings, and a few others. And that's just stuff that people have been able to pick out over the past few days since this story broke.

I can't think of a better way to kill your career than by stealing assets from a bunch of extremely popular and well known titles. I don't know how long those developers thought they could get away with this, but they did manage to get away with it for quite some time. The game has been available since November 2007 in Japan.
