    Shameless people plagiarize my UI design assets !

    I find a plagiarize asset compare to one of my UI asset from layout , design style, to using my buttons texture almost directly.
    I hope unity can protect my hard design work!!! Don't let the bad guys hurt the original creator's heart!!!

    my original link: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/gui/sci-fi-ui-pack-pro-149421#content
    Plagiarist link: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/gui/sci-fi-ui-kit-168046#content

    I am sure that knife Entertainment Use my project to do a little change and sell it again!!!
    Does unity really condone this behavior to Make the assetstore full of imitations???

    every please give me your opinion!

    Well, there's definitely similarities in the example layouts, though not so much the actual UI elements.

    But you probably dont want to be using a silhouette of Tracer in your own Character UI example whilst raising the issue of plagiarism.

    It's not that similar? At least not enough for legal action.

    edit : layout is very similar, but I mean the elements

    hi, the Tracer is not included in UI Elements assets, it is just show the effect of the layout, It's not being processed as a usable UI element. Thanks.

    yes, this is the problem! you design a version of a UIpack,and someone buy it ,and just do some element change,let them not same as original, and sell it ,do you think it\s ok? Do you know how long it took me to design it and to create it? but Counterfeiters only need to make a few changes..unfair!

    I'm not seeing what qualifies as plagiarism here. "Glowing blue with angles" is hardly unique, nor is the layout on display.

    Well, its not just some 'element changes'. The scripts are different, and the prefab structures and names are very differently laid out, as are the actual images. To me, it looks like they've been organised along quite different lines, basically.
    You've done a screenshot above showing the Fonts folder, why not do one for the Prefabs folder as well...

    Dont' edit your post to delete the original question. Now none of the replies make sense with no context. :confused:

    Best not to erase your original question. This way other people might benefit from the answers in the future.

    I reported it. Moderators generally frown on this type of behaviour and should restore the original post and responses.

    Closed. Warned. Do not rewrite history like this. the edit feature is correct typos and the like. It is disrespect and rude to waste other's time like this. Don't do it again.

    Edit: also, both layouts are very, very common and have been done a thousand times. I have personal done variations on them in 3 games (2 released). Google Marvel Avengers Allience or Star Wars Commander, (or any of the other star wars or marvel titles). blue tech with clipped edges and glowy bits is pretty the default art direction.
