Tbh he is the only one making a stink. No one else is reporting or cares.

2019-04-14 01:24:55 UTC  

To give an example, let's say someone decides to make a porn game called "Microsoft" featuring a game mechanic about ED and having a micropenis.

2019-04-14 01:24:55 UTC  

Yea cause his list of investors care about a porn game more than him bashing the sjws culture

2019-04-14 01:25:15 UTC  

does he even *have* investors?

2019-04-14 01:25:19 UTC  

You bet your ass Microsoft can sue them for trademark issues.

2019-04-14 01:25:27 UTC  

Even though Microsoft doesn't do porn games.

2019-04-14 01:25:50 UTC  

I honestly dont think so. If he does he doesnt advertise them

2019-04-14 01:26:06 UTC  

Tim accepts anonymous donations IIRC.

2019-04-14 01:26:20 UTC  

And backer-support style donations.

2019-04-14 01:26:22 UTC  

i get it in a potential sense though. idk, depends really how much they care

2019-04-14 01:26:26 UTC  

Yea and backers

2019-04-14 01:26:47 UTC  

But as for major investors, I don't think so.

2019-04-14 01:26:52 UTC  

But he has been trying to approach some.

2019-04-14 01:27:04 UTC  

And CLEARLY this game has caused issues not just for investors but for interviews.

2019-04-14 01:27:11 UTC  

It interferes with his ability to perform work.

2019-04-14 01:28:10 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-14 01:28:57 UTC  

It is both a brand he has built up over years and a brand they were made aware of BEFORE this project of theirs.

2019-04-14 01:29:12 UTC  

That smells of something, especially with how they treated him last time.

2019-04-14 01:29:33 UTC  

It would activate my almonds so much if the game company were open to actually discuss it instead of forcing it into a court battle. And also they should probably have looked the name up before they actually named their game. It only takes a google search.

2019-04-14 01:29:42 UTC  

Well ttbh since he didnt get we trademark, kinda brought on himself. If not this game then something else far worse could have taken it

2019-04-14 01:29:59 UTC  

International trademark is really bloody expensive tho.

2019-04-14 01:30:08 UTC  

And?

2019-04-14 01:30:13 UTC  

Again, you do not have to register a trademark to have trademark protections. It just makes it easier for you.

2019-04-14 01:30:19 UTC  

If it mattered he would come up with it

2019-04-14 01:30:39 UTC  

actually it doesn't look that expensive

2019-04-14 01:30:48 UTC  

@Grodd no but it does allow a chance for it to be lost

2019-04-14 01:31:03 UTC  

Only if the trademark is deemed abandoned.

2019-04-14 01:31:07 UTC  

Which it clearly was NOT.

2019-04-14 01:31:12 UTC  

that too

2019-04-14 01:31:33 UTC  

It is expensive Jas.

2019-04-14 01:31:38 UTC  

some guys tried to make an alcohol called "The Pirate Bay" at some point, but were forced to change the name

2019-04-14 01:31:56 UTC  

390at a glance

2019-04-14 01:31:58 UTC  

i see the problem, if you just google it it shows up right next to it. huh

2019-04-14 01:31:58 UTC  

For a multiple media-based platform like Tim Pool's Subverse as well as lawyer fees it's easily thousands of dollars for an international trademark.

2019-04-14 01:32:04 UTC  

bigger issue than i thought

2019-04-14 01:32:05 UTC  

That's pennies to save a brand

2019-04-14 01:32:08 UTC  

yeah 390 is tiny

2019-04-14 01:32:12 UTC  

It is not that cheap.

2019-04-14 01:32:15 UTC  

I thought it'd be like at least 10 grand

2019-04-14 01:32:30 UTC  

Google it bro. 390

2019-04-14 01:32:40 UTC  

It would be on the order of at least 1k to probably closer to 5k for something as big as Tim Pool's project scope.
