The amount of blatant plagiarism in the video game industry is disgusting. Well, at least Namco would never copy an artist's original idea without giving him full cred...
You know, I kinda appreciate finding this out now because beforehand I'd just have thought that the SC devs all got together and brainstormed "elderly blind bondage man" based on nothing but their own filthy minds.
Or an elaborate troll on the artists after they'd had their fun making the overly busty women of the game.
