Some thread about the law surrounding parody

[King.]

Heh, he has a blue mustache.

Sir, I never authorized you to use my signature. That was my 100% original creation.

SORRY! I'll parody it.

bah, Justin Able would have been a better name

[BuddyAwesome]

If this were on Android I would buy and check it out.

[King Ellis]

I saw that. King Able killed a girl. Did you throw a trident?

I think the sad thing that's getting lost in all this is that I'd definitely be interested in a Game Dev Story -esque wrestling management game if:

a. the parodies weren't so slap-you-in-the-face obvious. I'd rather it be entirely fictional than it try so hard to be the real people

b. the price wasn't so high. I guess I am somewhat thrifty, but I generally wouldn't pay £7 for any app regardless of whether it was an indie effort or a big budget, well-known studio (the only exception being the NHL Premium GameCenter app, but my hand was somewhat forced with there being no opportunity to watch games here without subscribing to some shitty third rate channel that doesn't even broadcast in HD).

c. the figurehead for the game wasn't an utter jerk.

And that's without factoring in whether or not the damn thing can actually run properly.

It would also help if it was anything like Game Dev Story. It's a Wrestling version of FIFA Ultimate Team.

[hugobomb]

100% original indeed.

Oh shit, he's got bigger problems now. The people behind the DOA film are gonna be pissed when they realise he's ripped off their version of Bass Armstrong.

Kevin Nash is going to be coming for you Serious

I'd happily play a wrestling based trading card game also. Like whatever it was WWE put out online a few years ago, I forget the name. (edit: "With Authority", was that it?)

I forgot, the actual tragedy in this thread is that no one has made a reference to the shin.

I agree with hugo. This thread has been glorious. Partly from Serious Parody digging his grave deeper by avoiding a bunch of shit to everyone else either giving it to him hard and the sarcasm that is spewing from every pixel of the letters you type.

Oh, and

OK, serious question: did you contact WWE's legal team with your characters? Because these are not original characters and are treading on the toes of the liklinesses of their trademarks.

It was. Actually there's a quite fun wrestling card game type thing someone did with a legends version and a CHIKARA version, pricey though.

Coal is relaible, it's proven to not crash!

You're thinking of Quantas, and unfortunately they do crash now.

[hugobomb]

DADDYGO?!?

Had he gone with Candice MommyGo he would have been in the clear.

The clear I tells ya!

Wait, Candice MommyStop would have been fine too

Ryland's very first EW game was a card game.
