Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9723319" data-attributes="member: 18">US courts are more favourable to this kind of shenanigans than European ones (ironically enough, in part because it's far easier to jurisdiction shop in the US and East Texas exists), and it'd be somewhat difficult to legally justify starting such a suit in the US when the company is in Europe, like it might just get thrown out or sales enjoined solely in the US (which would hurt 2LM a bit but probably not end them, so long they didn't fight it aggressively or simply complied).That said, even in the US I very much doubt this reaches the level necessary to succeed in any action, because there are some significant differences and it's not likely someone would be actively confused, especially when the game is acknowledging Zelda as an influence, which is essentially telling customers "This isn't Zelda", so claims people were "confused" or the like are harder to make.The name is probably the most risky part, I have to admit that does give me pause. I wouldn't have done that bit!That's the bigger issue for me. It's all very well to file the serial numbers off something that's slightly generic like John Wick (which as others have observed could almost have been a WoD title like "Assassin: The Slaughter" or something), but Zelda is something more precise and somehow "very close but not quite" doesn't work as well.Be crazy if they don't, honestly. So many parents would buy this to play with kids, and if it has a system that isn't going to work for that, that's just ensuring they don't buy anything else or recommend it to a friend or the like.</blockquote>
