melkathi Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 And in other news, the game Diesel Störmers had its name changed to Rogue Stormers because fashion giant Diesel felt that their trademark was being infringed. Tralalalala Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Keyrock Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) And in other news, the game Diesel Störmers had its name changed to Rogue Stormers because fashion giant Diesel felt that their trademark was being infringed. Tralalalala That's just ridiculous. It seems weird that you can trademark an existing word. Diesel is a thing, it's a type of engine and also the type of fuel that is used in said engine. Is every gas station that sells diesel fuel infringing on the rights of a clothing company? I hope that had the devs fought this they would have won in court, but they (correctly) decided that the costs involved would not be worth it. It sucks that these large corporations get to bully people around, but that's how it is.

Blarghagh Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 It's ridiculous and wouldn't have held up in court. The thing is, a tiny game company is not going to go up against them.
the_dog_days Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 It's ridiculous and wouldn't have held up in court. The thing is, a tiny game company is not going to go up against them. Exactly. It's like when suing for liable, the first thing to consider is how deep the defendant's wallet is. That is the single biggest reason mid-tier celebrities almost never sue gossip magazines for slander.
Zoraptor Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 That rather depends though, if they were planning on selling T shirts or other merchandise with 'Diesel Stormers' on it then it would (or could for general merchandise) be a legit challenge from Diesel. The bigger issue is giving too broad context trademark protection to common words- as with 'Scrolls' or 'Saga'; albeit the 2nd seems to have failed, no more hail to the King Inc if you want to use it- in the first place.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 For once, I wholeheartedly agree with something written in RPS. Alpha Protocol is my favorite Obsidian game ever and I consider it one of the most underappreciated games ever made. For all its faults, and there are plenty, that game is freakin' brilliant. I keep praying that someday we get a sequel or prequel, preferably starring SIE. It's clear SEGA is never going to do anything with the IP, because SEGA, they should just sell it to Obsidian nice and cheap like. AP is one of those gems that people overlook because of its flaws. It always amused me, however, that the flaws in AP were exaggerated, while similar flaws (or sometimes worse ones) in these Triple-A games get completely overlooked. 6 "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

Orogun01 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 AP is BY FAR Obsidian's worst game. PURE CRAP. AP is the B movies of video games, flawed but with a lot of heart. 2 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

teknoman2 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 you know, even if they do not make a sequel to AP they can still use the good rpg mechanics of the game for some other game. The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.

HoonDing Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) AP sure is a gem, if you manage to get past the hacking tutorial. And then there's that loathsome first level in Saudi Barbaria. Edited October 19, 2015 by HoonDing The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Volourn Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 The quote still stand. My opinion on AP isn't going to magically change others' opinions on it. Nor do I expected. What does matter is success vs failure and AP is very much a failure. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
