I hope Take Two loses this, what an absolutely disgusting publisher to file something as baseless as this.

There is no star or blue/yellow background on Remedy's logo, even the R is a different color

Unfortunately, they've won these frivolous, copyright-trolling lawsuits before.

[–] lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 9 months ago

That's sad to hear, ugh...

Thanks for sharing the article though, I never knew they went after that game

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

There has been tons of stuff called "It takes Two." Why go after just the game?

[–] Aurix@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Assholes. This is clearly not infringing, because they are quite different. If this goes through, we will have the copyright wars on letters, where one company blocks all others.

Next up: Apple sues orchards for producing fruit shaped like their logo.

Not as bad but there is this https://www.popsci.com/technology/apple-swiss-trademark/ I guess Apple wants to own the apple fruit image.

[–] beatle@aussie.zone 1 points 9 months ago

It’s actually Apple records sues computer company for stealing their name.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago

Can take two go fuck themselves for once man

[–] MrPoopyButthole@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

I hope they both go down when Team Rocket hears about this

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Just Take Two being their usual asshole self.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

What an idiotic reson.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

Are they going to go after Rackspace Hosting next? After all, that’s another technology company that uses an R logo. Or do they get a pass because it’s a lower case R. Didn’t know if Take-Two had a monopoly on all R logos or just capital ones.

[–] srgtDodo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

It doesn't even look the same at all! do they really think they own the letter R?

The battle of the Rs

In both meanings of the letter.
