Sony is suing Tencent, alleging that Tencent's upcoming game, Light of Motiram, is a copyright infringement of its Horizon series. The lawsuit claims Light of Motiram is a "slavish clone" and seeks $150,000 in damages per infringed work. Tencent previously pitched a mobile Horizon spinoff to Sony, which was rejected. Sony highlights similarities in characters, machines, and settings, citing public comments that echo the accusations of plagiarism. While Light of Motiram includes unique elements like co-op and base-building, the resemblance to Horizon is undeniable.
