"it TAKEs TWO"

It Takes Two, the latest game from Brothers: A Two Sons' Josef Fares, has been hit by a trademark claim from Grand Theft Auto parent company Take-Two.

The acclaimed co-op puzzler about a pair of divorcing parents was struck by a trademark claim before its release earlier this year, it has emerged. Records show developer Hazelight subsequently abandoned ownership of the name.

lmao I swear, you can't make that shit up

We had a very different thread about this last night.

Lots of cock sucking accusations in it too.

 

[oldergamer]

Hopefully EA will fight that trademark since they published it

Oh fuck off Take Two, this is Metallica level legal pussy-aching.

No, nothing will ever reach Lars' level.

When you want a piece of the pie and you are a shit company with no dignity , you get take two ...

Oh and they are not gonna win this

Edit: wtf they won ? Fuck them in the ass :/

 

[ManaByte]

Oh and they are not gonna win this

If you read the OP, they already did.

Jesus I didn’t think they did . Thanks for pointing it out.

wtf a shit company man

 

[hemo memo]

This is fucked up. Instead of this stupid fuckery they should force Rockstar to fix the money grab and robbery in daylight that is GTA Fucked Up Edition.

 

[Imtjnotu]

The state of California should sue take two for naming the GTA after the San Andreas fault line

 

[carlosrox]

Uh is this some kind of joke?

I know, how does someone become "legendary" after two indie games and flipping off the camera at the TGAs?

He should say “Fuck Take-Two” next time.

lmao, check out this comment from the article, brilliant.

"Take Two are getting a lot of flak for this, but I for one think they are doing the right thing. Imagine how disappointed I was having thought I’d bought full ownership of their company for a bargain £20 only to find out I’d bought a video game instead! At the time I did wonder how an entire games publishing company could operate from inside a DVD case depicting an anthropomorphic therapy book chasing a couple of humans who have morphed into dolls and are parachuting to the ground clutching a massive dandelion, but we're constantly hearing how Covid has changed the way people work, so I thought the offer was legit. All I can say is never shop for ownership of multi-billion-dollar companies in the gaming isle of your local Tesco. Anyway, anything Take Two can do to stop this extremely difficult to notice misunderstanding from happening to others is a very worthwhile use of the legal system in my humble opinion."

I haven't bought a Take-Two game since the PS2 GTA boxset and I shan't be buying anything from them ever again.

Sounds like a Shareholder.

 

[cireza]

But can we still use the words Take and Two separately, or must they be banned from the language ?

FUCKING GREEN RATS

 

[Filben]

could somebody please just burn down this shit hole of company?

 

[Notabueno]

Can someone explain how it is legally possible?

Are the US that completely fucking degenerate of a country so that you don't have any amount of sane regulation and laws like the rest of the civilized world?

Yes.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

It takes one lawyer.

 

[Fare thee well]

No but guys they are just obligated to legally defend themselves. This is the system working well and as intended /sarcasm

 

[PlayStaytion]

After it became a success absolutely , but before that I'm sure they wouldn't pay any attention to it.

They did not win in court, the other much smaller company preferred to give up than maybe win after years and years of costly lawsuits.

Dude, you have no idea. Here you can file multiple law suits against someone until they are so terrified by legal costs and time, that they get crushed by it all. It's disgusting how many frivolous lawsuits are filed every year. And you can only really defend yourself against such absurdity if you are rich. Talk about the real swamp that needed draining.

 

[zeorhymer]

Sounds like Zenimax and Mojang all over again.

 

[Skifi28]

I don't give two shits.


Aaaand sued. One shit, I don't give one shit.

 

[The_Mike]

"all RPGs with a Blizzard spells gets cnned because of Blizzard Entertainment"

I can see it happening.

 

[TwiztidElf]

Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston should sue Take-Two.

 

[Brigandier]

This is seriously disgraceful.... Be careful saying that companies name out loud it's the new candyman.....

 

[darrylgorn]

Doesn't there have to be some likeness in the intention for copyright to apply?

It's not like they would profit from using the name of this videogame developer/publisher.
