I only read the first few replies, so if I miss something, oh well:
No, I don't think LEGO is robbing Badspot. If anything, Badspot is robbing LEGO. I mean, a LEGO MMO isn't that amazing of an idea - and Universe isn't going to be ANYTHING like Blockland. As of now, it looks like you can't even build anywhere you want. They have little "workshop" things. I mean, with LEGO making video games now (they've made what? At least 4, with 2 on the way this year, Indiana Jones and Batman) it's no surprise at all they're making an MMO. And since when did Badspot ask LEGO to endorse Blockland? Even if he did, this is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR from stealing Badspot's idea. So you freaks who think this is robbing need to rethink it. Universe is going to be NOTHING like Blockland.
