Someone better have been fired for this

This is video game for Nintendo DS called Imagine Babies that is essentially like one of those little baby dolls that you have to take care of, but a video game version. So, there you see the cover. Apparently Ubisoft made it, which is quite an offshoot from their primarily action based/killing games library.

Anyway, Ubisoft is a French company with revenues of just over $1 billion American [via Wikipedia]. Why is that relevant? Well, notice anything a little off with that cover?

I'll give you a hint:













You've got to be kidding me. They stole that picture from iStockphoto! I can plainly see the watermark. There's another one on the picture in the top left too. They just stole the preview pictures instead of paying for the real ones.

How much would it cost to pay for this picture, seriously? And for that matter, why couldn't they take their own damn pictures? I found this hilarious. A huge company like Ubisoft ripping pictures from iStockphoto. Wow.
