This story is a year old. The guy lost the legal battle because CBS has more lawyers. Pretty sad ending to a legitimate case.

Can't really sue for a concept. That's not how copyright works.

The creator is arguing from a Character stand point. Claiming his Character are no different then from Micky Mouse, Bugs Bunny or The Simpsons Characters.
Has a great point and I firmly believe enough people shed light on this case and issue. just might show a huge problem with copyright industry.
Why Big companies such a Disney, Fox and ABC copyright not just the TV shows but the characters as well when small independent creators can not?

The guy never actually produced the game. No one played anything. This was just some ideas he had in his head & a few graphics he produced.
And who ever was talking about tardigrades in space at that time? Just about every fucking science show.
