FYI the Sony Eurostan dudes are just glorified internet jannies, they're not the big boi corporate lawyers who would actually fuck things up for everyone involved. When Manhunt 2 was leaked back in 2007 the Euro guys were the ones who tried to take down all instances of manhunt 2. Now Psygnosis was a studio that was beloved for wipeout and later became Studio liverpool and Manhunt 2 being leaked was under their watch. Their games didn't sell as much as expected and when it came time to clean out corporate excess the Manhunt 2 incident played a part in why Sony ended the studio.

Like it or not, the large companies have to protect their assets, because say another game from another studio gets leaked they don't want a reputation of having partners get burned and having no protection for their hard work and IP. TLOU2 is clearly a bad game and the rushed release date means that Sony has had enough throwing good money after bad. Naughty Dog was already in hot water before with the million dollar church display that was received negatively with the TLOU2 reveal.

Basically while the European threats lack actual teeth for outsiders, they will document the incompetence of the developers and if the developer's mistakes has cost them too much money then the hammer comes down on them. It's less about threats and more about saving face just in case a similar situation arises in the future they need to be able to have the trust of other companies that some form of protection will be deployed.

It just occurred to me that all these American companies incorporate in Bongistan so they can claim the first amendment isn't valid.

Fuck off ye limey cunts.

European branches of companies incorporate in England for tax reasons. The DMCA is always US jurisdiction.
 
As someone who knows literally nothing about The Last of Us, can I get a quick tl;dr? Someone leaked info about a tranny killing scene in a zombie game, and now Sony is sending out DMCAs?

That's basically it, but it spoils the death of major characters who were killed by said tranny, not that the tranny herself actually dies.

It also brings to light a tremendous number of troubling questions surrounding business and ethics practices by Naughty Dog not paying their developers, unhealthy crunch, and the hamfisted approach to pandering on social issues, but clearly, ND nor Sony really understands what the Streisand Effect is.

If anything, this junk mail they sent only reinforces that they might not have even developed a cogent strategy around this event.
 
Imagine being such a dumbass, that you try to cope with an already exposed and burning down franchise with downloads all over across the entire wide world of web, across the globe, by DMCA-ing some Fruit-Bird Kiwi Niggas, where the host is in a completely different country then you, and can easily dismiss the shit you say.

My sides are flying beyond the solar system like a comedic satellite.
Get fucked Naughty Dog lol.

Also, found this gem. Enjoy.

Only shocked that this didn't happen sooner

What did these exceptional individuals expect? They hired in a woman who is seen as the Gamer version of Satan and got her to be involved with the development of a very highly loved and praised video game and they thought everything would be fan?

Gamers rise up indeed. As a comic fag, let me tell you all right now. They don't care about your money and they couldn't care less about your protests. They will block you out and ignore you. They're only interested in their ideology and spreading it as much as possible. They don't care that it won't sell much. The comic pros didn't. It's all about sending a message

Anita. And you can draw line directly from when she began consulting on their games to their games completely falling apart thematically and from a story standpoint.

It became so absurd they jettisoned an acclaimed female writer for not bending the knee and being feminist enough for the male feminists she worked for. Yes, really.

How much cash you fellas want to bet that ReEra has their fat fingers deeply grubbed and clenched on this? How much you want to just bet that the devs and people at naughty dog took what these man-children said and used it to fuel how their game went?
