Are there any Original Stories left?

Gamespot is reporting that Midway Games is being sued by William L. Crawford III on grounds that the plot for Midway’s games was not wholly original, and in fact is a rip-off of one of his own screenplays – also called Psi-Ops.

The premise for the Psi-Ops screenplay is government soldiers with paranormal abilities, or ‘Psi-Agents,’ that fight terrorists that also have paranormal abilities,” according to the lawsuit. It mentions a number of characters, including a foreign-born pyrokinetic with a troubled past; a cool and menacing mind control specialist with a slender masculine build, black hair, trench coat, and sunglasses; and a rogue Psi-Agent who establishes his own underground terrorist organization using other Psi-Agents.

Uh yeah cause his story was SO original to begin with….
