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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Aurix@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

Can take two go fuck themselves for once man

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just Take Two being their usual asshole self.

[–] MrPoopyButthole@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

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

[–] sarge@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aren't they working together on the Max Payne remake?

How does this shit get to court when they are literally partners in something?!

"You can't use that R! That's OUR R!"

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

What an idiotic reson.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The battle of the Rs

In both meanings of the letter.
