Warner Bros. got in bed with a tech company that jacked codes in order to fast-track and produce its "Westworld" mobile app ... so claims another company in a new lawsuit.

The gaming company, Bethesda Softworks, is suing the media giant and Behaviour Interactive and, in the suit, says Behaviour stole its designs, artwork and codes ... and used them in the "Westworld" game.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Bethesda says it hired Behaviour first, in 2014, to work on its popular mobile app game, "Fallout Shelter." Later, after "Westworld" premiered in 2016 ... Behaviour went on to create the "Westworld" game for Warner Bros.

Bethesda's issue, according to the suit, is that Behaviour used its "Fallout Shelter" coding for the "Westworld" game. And, Bethesda believes there's a smoking gun -- the same bugs that appeared in an earlier version of 'Fallout' also showed up in the "Westworld" game.

Bethesda is suing to get the game shut down and to get a slice of the profits. We've reached out to Warner Bros. and Behaviour ... so far, no word back.


This according to lolTMZ.

It was thanks to some bugs that they found out about the plagiarism LMFAO, that's pretty funny if you ask me.

WB can go fuck themselves

Bethesda slightly less so. I hope this suit costs both parties a ton of money.

I'm surprised you've never heard of a company called Nintendo.

Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.

They send out a lot of cease and desists but I can't think of too many court cases in the last few years.

Meanwhile Bethesda outright sued Mojang over Scrolls.
