Bethesda is suing Warner Bros. Entertainment and the game developer that previously worked on Fallout Shelter. Seems that Westworld uses the entire underlying game engine with assets "updated" to be those of a more western-world. One thing that is tremendously incriminating in all this is Westworld suffering from some of the same early bugs as Fallout Shelter which are very specific into what exactly they bugged.
“Behaviour illegally used the same copyrighted source code from ‘Fallout Shelter’ to develop ‘Westworld,’ and copied Fallout Shelter’s game design, art, animations, gameplay features, and other elements. As a result of Behaviour and Warner Bros’ unlawful conduct, ‘Westworld’ is a blatant ripoff of ‘Fallout Shelter’ with largely superficial, cosmetic changes.
