Lol the real plagiarism is GW / Warhammer 40k ripping off Dune

Though you could do an identical meme with Games Workshop and Blizzard. There were so many people back in the day that didn't know Warhammer 40k had been around for over a decade when StarCraft released.

And then the same thing happened again when Dawn of War was released.

To be fair, the original warcraft was supposed to be an rts using the Warhammer IP.

Starcraft was also supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game iirc.
