As such it's only natural that they'd go out of their way to make you want to eat there again. Nor is it a federal offense to copy the menu of another restaurant and serve it as your own dish. A great documentary of such an occurrence is "In Search of General Tso" where the film makers trace the origin of Chinese restaurant staple General Tso's Chicken. This is a not a restaurant, this is a game. An MMO, but a game all the same. I've already said my thoughts on what that entails so I shan't repeat myself on the subject.
