Meh, I have nothing against it. More Dwarfs = More Dwarfs
This guy's got the right idea.

Game of Dwarves will never have the complexity of DF- no magma, no pig tail fiber socks, no troll-fur dildos, no flying lungfish. So no, it is not a rip-off. It is merely an inferior* replica.

Any management game involving dwarves will pretty much inevitably have a great deal in common with dwarf fortress, but that's not exactly a problem.  It's not like DF invented the idea of dwarves digging, building fortresses underground, making cool weapons, growing food underground, encountering forgotten horrors, or any of the other things people have cited as being evidence of it being a ripoff.

This is kind of like comapring Lord of the Rings to WoW.

I really dont care what happens to this game, it might get insanly popular, but really, who cares? How does this game being made/getting popular effect us in any way?  Its not gunna stop us from playing DF. If anything we are going to gain something from this, it might just end up like Minecraft, and just make DF more popular

Now everyone shutup.

There's a search feature on the forum. Use it.

game of dwarves paradox

Those keywords up there will get you a few topics already made on this. It's not a ripoff, and we've discussed this often before.

I think we should let this thread die and discuss it here.

(Bear in mind I only looked at the screenshots, not the video, so if somethings wrong, Fuck It)

There was a distinctive lack of 4 main things:

1)Carp
2)Badgers
3)MAGMA
4)Cave Adaption(Would've made a great interview background)
