Namco Bandaiās idol simulator The Idolmaster seems to be getting more than inspiration from an online retailer.
The ārareā Idolmaster card for character Megumi Ijuin looks exactly like a photo spotted on Japanese internet retail site Sunflower. Just look at the above comparison.
The card is featured in the new social Idolmaster game called Cinderella Girls. Players collect cards and then level them up.
Many artists use fashion magazines as inspiration in creating new designs. But thereās nothing new created. Even the pose is the same. Itās a straight-up copy!
More unsettling is that Namco Bandai even has this copyright for the card: āAll card pictures Ā© 2012, NBGI. All rights reserved.ā Who knows, maybe Namco paid for the pic right. But it couldāve at least changed it a little more.
