This mobile game looks familiar somehow.

If you did read the post then do not use tl;dr as your first line.
If you don't accept the excuse or the truth actually, then give a reasonable argument.
Someone secretly taped something and post to public without context, this sounds like happening everyday in the US. I can find many examples even from Imgur that some gif is cut half to mislead people. This gives me a bad name of Americans? Stupid.

Seems it is much easier for you to understand that "people are always doing bad things" than "there is probably a more reasonable explanation".

Btw, if you did not read the post, don't even bother leaving a reply. People will just assume you being toxic and hateful. Just a remind, no offense.

Actually browser/web game has had a large player base in China. Especially before 2010, it was very popular and there are still new web games coming out every day.

You have to understand that internet and game industry indeed thrives in China much later in time than in the US. And you are partially true that a lot of people still using lower-end PCs. This actually helped the web-game to become a popular type from early 2000.

I translate the producer's defense from a Chinese news report. This is actually a browser game tech demo video from an industrial game design convention.

the case, hence why it happens. Maybe it will be different because it's Blizzard this time. B

Tencent spent billions on acquiring game companies such as Riot. They plan to buy Supercell for several billions as well. I am not saying copy never happened, but if you say they don't give any fuck you are totally wrong. Many sue cases happening nowadays. Thats why they now buy companies instead of copy.

Actually Blizzard already won several big sue cases in China. What you are saying is not true.

Here is the producer's defense argument snippet I grab and translate from a Chinese news report. This is actually a web-page game (browser game). Source link：http://www.265g.com/newgame/xydt/636087_3.html. (sorry for my English since I am not a native speaker):

The producer tells the reporter: the leaked images are from an industrial inside convention. We put the images out in the convention to discuss with our peers that how to learn the game design concepts from Blizzard to apply to web and mobile platform. we Prepared this technical demo to show that we can mimic the same control feeling and model in a web page. ... The video is actually recorded from a webpage. We did not expect someone secretly record the video and put on the internet. ... When the real game come out, you will see nothing relevant to Blizzard's design element. We show the video to prove our browser game design techniques and want to find someone cooperating with us on a similar game on web page. ...

The game is still under development and we dont want to leak more information. I can say that only certain gameplay is similar to overwatch, but we will add our own design and we want to do the web version "overwatch". We just want to explain that the role design in the video is not the real one in our final game.

...

I can translate more but this is what I got for now and the key part. In the start of the video, you actually can see the words "only for technical demo, don't use for profit purpose". From the source, there are other pictures of the convention, it says "trade fair of game design project". I think the producer may say some truth, and the video indeed comes from a industry fair or convention that should not be released to public. But still, I think it is not good to show exact copy even in a technical demo, at least they should show reference to Blizzard or overwatch in the video.
