Unity Abandoned Rick and Morty - A Way Back Home [v4.0] [Ferdafs]

[kenta16807]

No, their lawyers would've placed one call to phatreon and he would be kicked off that platform faster than you can say mama

I don't think they mind, it's free advertising in a way.


If he's still alive, he's still profiting....I hope like h that he's still around somewhere, then there's hope.

For those wondering, it is entirely possible he has received a cease and desist from Adult Swim for, essentially profiting from copyrighted content.

Then they're doing the sneaky continue to take money thing of not telling people they got a C&D. It's not the magic solution it sounds like.

I mean, yeah - if he got a C&D and he's not notified his paying subs, he's comitting fraud and that can be a hefty punishment.

Na.
Something Unlimited used to be called Injustice Unlimited and THEY got a C&D through patreon.
Patreon shut the page down while they sorted it out.
If Ferdafs had gotten one, his patreon page would be down.

honestly all the viewership they get from people playing this game and wanting to see the show probably makes up for all that. After all this time if they really cared that much he would've been shut down

From what I know Ferdafs is from Bulgaria.

I don't think you understand how copyright works.

I can absolutely, without shadow of a doubt assure you that - IF - this product was seen by Adult Swim and their lawyers, they would have send a cease and desist and thrown the law at the producer. It doesn't matter if this product sent ONE viewer or one hundred million viewers to the show - there is no way that they'd want to be seen permitting a pornographic game with incest and certainly an unlicensed product that they're not earning royalty from.

To suggest anything otherwise would be wishful thinking. Believe me, if MGM/Paramount Universal Music sent a lawsuit after a woman who uploaded a video of her child to YouTube dancing while Prince was playing in the background, demanding millions in "compensation" I can assure you Adult Swim would 100% do the same.

Edit - the long and short of it is, copyright protections exist to not only protect the copyright holder - but also protect a brand from copycats etc. And often are, in the US especially - taken rather seriously when filed.

Second Edit - Corrected the complainant name. Apologies, I was pulling from memory. Here is a source for any interested -

I think they choose not to know, there's just no way they don't know.

AS is owned by WB, they got enough lawyers on hand....maybe the Streisand effect, who knows.

Reading the frankly scary comments on his phatreon, I would imagine AS has got quite a few emails about this game...

I searched a while and couldn't find the Paramount scandal you described. Maybe they had it scrubbed from the web, but do you have an article about it?

case, and it wasn't MGM/Paramount, it was Universal Music Group. Also they just sent a copyright take down notice on Youtube, not threatening to sue for millions.

 

[bigheadted]

Imagine thinking the creator got taken down with a lawsuit when there are millions upon millions of paywalled content doing the same exact thing with other IP. You think Patreon and other supporter sites are all sunshine and rainbows with their content and not homes to other pornographic fanart content with even worse themes than incest. There's no point in speculating if you're just going to let your imaginations run wild. If they come back they'll come back. If they don't then they don't. That's just how things go.

No as someone else said it was actually Universal Music. I've updated my post to reflect the correct name.

Didn't dev say at start of year that he was sick or something and had to stay with family to take care of him?
At this point he might have gotten really sick and can't do anything or even died.

Yes, that is indeed the scenario some of us fear the most - 'cause then there's no hope.

funny how you think adult swim hasn't caught wind of this. How many pissy players do you think went and emailed AS multiple times to get this game taken down. IF they wanted it gone trust it would already be gone. THEY DONT CARE because they have bigger priorities and they arent losing an ounce of money from it. Again ill go back to the fact that this game COULD push new viewers to the show IN TURN making the studio more money and ALSO this game is on f95zone (where we are now if you don't know) and every game here is free. Where do you think 99% of this games downloads come from? here. Creator doesn't get any money from downloads from here which again in turn means that the studio for rick and morty isn't losing any money. IF AND WHEN AND IFFFFFF they ever lose ALOT of money because of this game they'll sue but if its not causing them any issues they wont unless they WANT TO and they haven't cause again its fairy tale talk to say AS hasn't caught wind of this yet. Cause you do realize that the showrunners know about the fanart and the nsfw art they arent stupid. This game IS one of f95zones biggest games and is on multiple sites all over the internet. So ill end this by simply saying that AS definitely knows to some degree that this exists and until it hurts them they won't care. you do realize just because they are a big studio/rich showrunners doesn't mean if they sued they wouldn't be paying a shit ton of money in order to sue. Sueing takes money from both sides.

It's a certainty that someone at Adult Swim heard/knows about this - somebody must have reported it to them.
It's interesting, though - it's kind of obvious that they probably won't send C&D at this point, since they would've done this long ago if they wanted.
And yet if there would be a porn game using Nintendo IP that's similarly popular, they would've most certainly do something about.
Makes me wonder how decisions like this are made in the industry when it comes down to porn games specifically - whether it comes do to individuals at companies, or if there are actually meetings about this sort of stuff.
