Ico had very poor sales in its original North American release. Most people recall seing that horrendous art cover and skiping the game because they believed the game was just as ugly. This case exemplifies how a bad cover can actually affect a game’s sales.

Ueda confirmed De Chirico’s work as one of the main inspirations behind the world building of Ico. You’re confusing ‘plagiarism’ with ‘homage’, which is a very silly thing to do, to be honest.

When everyone gets satisfied by a movie, then the movie isn't so interesting. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. The important thing is that is going to shock you. In a good or in a bad way.
