Limbo of the Lost devs respond to plagiarism charges

Studio accused of stealing from other games apologizes, says it was unaware that outsourced talent was submitting copied content.

Earlier this month, the PC adventure game Limbo of the Lost came under heavy fire for apparently copying artwork from other games like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Thief: Deadly Shadows. When the initial story broke, the game's US publisher issued a statement saying it had no idea about the improprieties, and that attempts to contact developer Majestic Studios had been unsuccessful as the team was on break after finishing up the game.

The developers apparently came back to work today, as a source connected to Majestic issued to GameSpot the following statement from the studio:

4 - It's an illegitimate game.
They probably spent 10 dollars making it. Now they're spamming N4G with "accusations" of plagiarism. It's a PR stunt.
