The whole situation is wild. Basically, there is nothing wrong with WB making a similar game, especially when they use their own IPs in it. However, they didnt make it in house. Instead they hired the same company that developed Fallout Shelter.
In doing this they produced a suspciously similar game based on Westworld. This is where people kinda stop talking but its the most important part. The developers (who are neither Bethesda or Warner Brothers) dont own the rights to Fallout Shelter’s engine. Bethesda does. And so for them to use that code to make the Westworld game, that’s massively illegal. In investigating Bethesda found many bugs in the Westworld game that perfectly match old bugs in Fallout Shelter that were patched before released. Which allows them to pursue the case
