    Suits like this should permanently get everything you own, including subsidiaries and parent companies, placed in the public domain immediately.

    Never forget the time Bethesda went after Notch for the word “scroll” being used for another one of Notch’s games.

      I didn’t know about this one. The first one that popped in my head was this

      “In 2016, the Fine Brothers, formerly known as FBE, attempted to trademark the word “react” for their reaction videos.”

    Bullshit lawsuit. The two R logos are quite distinctive. Rockstar has their iconic star and Remedy’s R is whatever it is.

    Finite people, wasting finite time, on abstract concepts. “Don’t you think of us when you read the letter ‘R’?” No, I think of a Rhinoceros.

    Not surprising given Take-Two’s history when it comes to trademark disputes. I’m pretty sure they went after the developers of It Takes Two because of the name, plus any random business that has Rockstar in the name.

    I really wish I wasn’t surprised they’d be this petty. Yet another day in the greedy corpo world
