Space Truckers is a relatively new game to Steam, having just launched on November 23. If the community has anything to say about it, its life span on the service will be short and possibly end in legal action. Available for the low, low price of $19.99, currently on sale at 10% off, you can enjoy everything that Space Truckers has to offer, like stolen assets from commercial games and community projects.
Users on the ZDoom forum have posted an alarming number of comparisons showing sprites ripped directly from other games. Not content with merely taking assets from William Shatner’s Tekwars, Space Truckers also allegedly steals from Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Strife, Left 4 Dead 2, and more. You can head on over to the forums and see a pretty long list of direct sprite rips, sound files, and even Windows assets that made their way into the game.
As usual, this controversy is drawing more attention thanks to accusations that the developer is actively deleting threads on the game’s Steam forums pointing out these stolen assets. MMO Fallout will follow up with any further information.
