Im torn. on one hand I think the retro fad is needs to die but on the other hand Iron Maiden are an overrated trash band that needs to die.

Hopefully Guilty Gear won't be sued for all their Iron Maiden and heavy metal influences.

The GG references aren't the title of the game. Ion Maiden is damaging or defaming the Iron Maiden brand will be the argument, but I think they're going to have a hard time proving that.

>a hawkish holdings company for some has-been metal band filed a frivolous lolsuit
Shocking.

And nothing of value was lost.

Nothing of value was lost.
SJW shit has no place in retro FPS.

Retro fps is a shitty fad that was already on it's way out.

side job while he don't get a new game

the record label never played guilty gear

we should show to them so they can sue arc

>don't like thing? Just sue them.
>burgers clapping in the background

all Ive seen are supposed testimony's from illiterate iron maiden fans confused that the game has nothing to do with the band

who are you quoting?

I have never heard of this game but are you telling me that the band has complete dominion over the term "iron maiden"? Hell this isn't even actually called IRON Maiden anyways.

>They are going after ID Software
Looks like they have an insider.

What the fuck for though? For the name?
The band didn't invent iron maidens.

imagine saying "Ion Maiden" but in a British accent m8
"that's that Ion Maiden innit?"

The game isn't even titled Iron Maiden, so they're just being retarded.

Trademark violation as they claim.

they have a mobile '''game'''

so the lawyer believes he has a case

the band probably don't even know about the legal action

That's not how it works. That falls under free use. You have to prove brand damage.

This, what the fuck is their point here? I love Iron Maiden but this is just retarded. Who's behind this, Steve Harris?

You can't sue for homage, dumb idiots.

The r/games thread is full of people saying they were confused so there you go

IT'S A TRIBUTE

Even if it was called iron maiden that's an object that physically exists historically so there's zero grounds for a lawsuit.

I hope this is a case of legal watchdog agencies getting out of hand and not the actual band wanting it. IM looks like a decent retro and losing it over a frivolous lawsuit is really stupid.

This. Iron Maiden is a trademark infringement on the invention by Nebis Regulus and all of their money must be paid to the Regulus estate.

gee i wonder why user

Finally they found something to market their games

Unironically looks better than Pokémon.

You do realize the only reason why the series is called Pokemon is because of the lawsuit by "Monster in your Pocket" company right?
Original game was called Pocket Monsters and they had to rename it to Pokemon after Monster in your Pocket sued.

They probably won't win unless the font is the same or they are heavily advertising with obvious reference to the band. You can't actually just trademark a word. Just because ion maiden and iron maiden are similar and ion maiden is an obvious reference doesn't mean this band deserves 2m

Jojo is killed

I don't think Jojo has any Iron Maiden reference now that you mention it.

The game doesn't actually need to be called Ion Maiden. I'm sure they can think of something better.

Seething

Holy fuck, imagine the excellent publicity 3dr is getting right now.

Iron Maiden is an English band.

And how are they suing an American company? What are they gonna do, send Interpol after them?

>Doom 1 & 2 blatantly rips off music by Metallica, Pantera, Alice in Chains, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Slayer
>all parties involved are chill about it
>Ion Maiden has a similar name to "Iron Maiden"
>sued for two million
fucking cringe

Bobby Prince is a lawyer and knew the exact amount of music sampling that was legally allowed.

What's wrong with retro though?

>Metallica
>chill
>sued people for pirating their music and only stopped after the backlash was so bad

fuuuuukkkk
now i understand why it is not coming out.

That's not how trademarks work retard.

Apples exist, doesn't mean you can start selling Apple branded electronics and hope to not get reamed.

Even though this is a bullshit lawsuit I feel nothing but schadenfreude because the devs are SJW cucks.

Iron Maiden was a term that existed before the band, though

Post pics

>the devs are SJW cucks
But they aren't.

And? That's irrelevant.

Windows existed before they were an OS, Apples existed before it was a brand, Androids existed before they were an OS, Grand Theft Auto existed before it was a game.
