Update: Cliffy B Unbans User, Looks into "Stolen Map"

Well Cliffy B. Has just unbanned "EpicJon" from the UTIII forums along with giving an update to the whole incident.... According to cliffy the maps are most likely a coincidence since the new map is a remake of Koos Galleon and goes on to say that in the past they've not only given credit to map creators but also paid them for their maps if they were officially released in Epic's games. Also don't forget that the User created map was only released about a month -> a month and a half ago.... a map that was made for an official release from Epic would have been in development far longer then that.

"Not just "with permission" but we've actually gone out and paid folks to license their maps when we've included them in one of our bonus packs or within one of our games.

I've got to catch a plane early in the morning but I told Jon we'll look into it and get him a response in the next day or two."
Updates:
Swap Cliffy B w/ Mark Rein.

Chill folks. I'm traveling today (posting this from DFW airport on route to the west coast) but I'll try to put up a response tonight when I hit my hotel room. There are some useful lessons to be learned from this thread so just be kind to each other until I get to them.

The people at Epic make some good points there regarding dev time for maps, etc. I can't help but wonder why the guy was banned from the Epic forums, though.

At least they admit to making a mistake. However, we still don't really know why he was banned in the first place. He could have been nagging the mods and being a jerk.

In any case, at least this situation is over with.
