FortressCraft isn't exactly news though, I bought it on xbox live at least a few weeks ago. i really don't think he could be sued either unless it was the code was just backwards engineered and converted to XNA. plus it's not like they just copied minecraft feature for feature, the game is only in essence creative mode. it's a WIP project, so honestly minecraft and fortresscraft just have similar roots, considering that even though the game doesn't have dwarf fortress like aspects yet, it's planned. so it's like minecraft and fortresscraft both had a basic creative mode. but where minecraft focused on gathering and surviving, fortresscraft is going to go in a different direction, with resourcing, macromanagement done by ai (or manually), and vehicles. it's easy to pass it off as a minecraft clone, but once you play it, you start seeing how different it really is
