Tencent calls Sony’s copyright allegations “startling” and outside its exclusive control. Tencent has rejected Sony’s allegation that its upcoming game Light of Motiram is a “slavish clone” of the Horizon series. Tencent said Light of Motiram relies on “time-honoured” tropes beyond Sony’s control, dismissing Sony’s copyright claims as “startling.”"Plaintiff Sony has sued a grab-bag of Tencent companies - and ten unnamed defendants - about the unreleased video game Light of Motiram, alleging that the game copies elements from Sony's game Horizon Zero Dawn and its spinoffs," said Tencent's lawyers. "At bottom, Sony's effort is not aimed at fighting off piracy, plagiarism, or any genuine threat to intellectual property. It is an improper attempt to fence off a well-trodden corner of popular culture and declare it Sony's exclusive domain."
