It's an English word so can probably only stop other media sites from using the word

He says it's obsolete, I'm not sure about that

I understand his problem, but i don't know if he can do anything about it. Other then hope they are nice enough to change (tho if he really had a problem with it, maybe he might think of changing his).

It would be a lot harder for Tim to change his brand than for them to change. They've got one game that hasn't even been released under subverse. Tim has several years worth of content.

I don't really see anything happening.

What do you mean by anything happening? Rebranding is a lot of work when you already have established products

I mean i don't see anything will come of Tim's effort to get them to change their name.

So i think the only thing will happen is if he doesn't mind it, or changes his own brand name.

It's likely they will need to rebrand for a US release at least.

I don't even think that would happen, but i could be wrong....

Since Tim has Subverse trademarked and it's not a word that's used commonly I think that most courts would uphold the trademark in this scenario.

Now if they named it Subverse - the game or something then they would be fine.

Just like how some companies or malls can get away with having Apple in the name so long as it's in conjunction with other descriptors.

It's possible that international trademark treaties could make the ruling apply in the UK as well.

If it isn't the same category of product I don't think there's much he can do

Ya, someone is applying trademark law to broadly, that's why i said nothing is likely to happen.

A new online news site or another youtube channel named Subverse or even Subverse Media or something sure, but a game? I don't think he has a case

I guess it all depends on how he filed it.

And how much money he throws at protecting it.

Either way I think Studio FOW are being jackasses about it, though I've never liked them anyways so I'm biased.

Damn, mainstream isn't even trying to hide it anymore

CBS removed their original tweet with the original video, probably due to getting ratio'd to oblivion

That wasn't satire?

Nope. That's a legit scene from The Good Fight, the Spencer video is just spliced in

wow

Here's an explanation of the TV episode.

They basically decide to completely break the 4th wall at the end of the episode and tell the audience to punch nazis

@C1PHER Oddly, that’s not the way I saw it. I got “Don’t be a fucking dickhead” and “if you fully intend to cheat, you are playing the wrong game”
But then I read the Orwell version of 1984, not the revised copy edited by Alinsky & Co

Granted, I also have no idea what the show is even normally like, so I may be misinterpreting things

But the internet sure didn't like it one bit

Basically called it "CBS openly calling for political violence"

Well specifically mentioning Richard Spencer, who is an actual living person, and having a character give a monologue about why it's okay to attack this real person is pretty bad

I thought the Interview acting out the death of Kim Jong Un was pretty distasteful, this is a new level

I'm not sure of the context of whether the character is supposed to be a good guy or not, but looking at the show's Twitter, I'd say there's a good chance they portray him as someone the audience should listen to

I cannot comment further without watching the entire thing.
My synopsis?
“TV shows has episode with insanity it it”
Some people take it as instructions.
So?
About the worst possible situation is if it was meant as instructions.
Even that has an upside though - they have now hoisted their colours.

The accelerationist collapsitarian route I see

Not my preferred route, but I do feel cleaner dealing with honest enemies than slitherers.
I’ll send you a synopsis of conflict mode theory sometime mica

I think Tim might be hitting the breaking point
