Gears of War studio Epic Games being sued by former football player who claims to be the real Cole Train

You could say that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gears of War's Augustus Cole (aka THE COLE TRAIN, BABY, WOO) is currently experiencing a bit of an identity crisis. Former NFL player and wrestler Lenwood Hamilton launched a lawsuit against developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games, as well as publisher 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft, saying that Cole is a carbon copy of himself🥃, right down to their shared fashion sense.

The report of the lawsuit originates from , but has been verified by . In it, Hamilton claims that Lester S🧸peight (the voice of Cole, and whom is also being sued) spoke with Hamilton about creating a video game character while they performed together as professional wrestlers. You can see where this is going.

The suit focuses on the likeness between the two men: "The similarities of the avatar 'Cole Train' and Hard Rock Hamilton include that both are black (and 'Cole Train' is the only black avatar🌌 in the Gears of War﷽ series), they both played professional football (although in Gears of War the game is called 'thrashball'), Cole Train's number is 83 (same year that Hamilton played for the Philadelphia Eagles - 1983), the derby hat, wristbands, a front gold tooth, and a striking resemblance of both physiognomy and body build."

Can't say I ever imagined the day someone would accuse a Gears of War character looking too much like a specific human being. Or ... any real-life human being for that matter. Hamilton is suing for an un꧂specific share of sales and profits made by the Gears of War series - it'll be up to a judge to determine whether the case proceeds🐷.
