Bzzt. Nice try. There is nothing in game even hinting at the girls being "tentacled" — furthermore, at what point in reality are aliens a threat to women? It's not even approaching realistic.

It's use in games CAN be trademarked, though ... That's why this will hold up or Activision will simply pay it out.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering how that project was staying up ...

Game is still available to buy directly through their web site: [girls.sodapopminiatures.com]

You can still buy it by Pre-ordering here: [girls.sodapopminiatures.com]

Try law school before calling something crap simply because you don't think it's a big deal.

No, they've maintained the trademark through use. The time they took just means the did due diligence.

The whole time you fought in the series, failure and death is what hung over your head — and the response every time was: I would rather fight and die than capitulate.

If you have the most fabulous meal of your entire life, then you receive food poisoning from it — yes, the last minutes can ruin everything that came before.

Wow, your happy ending was one of homogenous existence when through the entirety of the series we fought and died for the importance of diversity?

I usually come down pretty hard on Owen's pieces, but I have to say this is a superlative op-ed and needed to be written. I had the exact same thoughts when I saw who they had hired.

Mass Effect 3 proved to me how much more fun and visceral it is to yell it out to your companions: Liara - singularity!

He'll never understand what you just did lol

Since this is a comic thread, I figured I would share that my screenplay is getting a comic adaption by Ron Marz & Matthew Dow Smith. Pretty excited about it.

A couple guys making a game don't have an accountant — it's like you have no idea what a creative start-up is like. And, yes, it does happen to big companies all the time. I've worked for Fortune 500 corporations that have had the same issue. It usually happens when you have multiple accounts/stores with their own…

However, eating matters to people. If you're new in the field, you price low to get ANY business. If you do well, you can begin increasing your costs. I mean, I know you understand that - I'm just pointing out, that unless you've got the experience and a line at your door, any money is pretty fantastic.

In the end, they'll probably turn out ok, even if its rough going for right now. I didn't Kickstart the project, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying the actual release. There are probably WAY more like me than actually Kickstarted - so, once it's available for purchase, I bet they make a killing.

Creative types usually don't have much education in the financial aspects. A lot of people would assume that if they were going to be using it for the project it wouldn't be taxed as income because it was set aside for the project. That's not the case, as they now know. The fact is, making mistakes is part of life —…

You mean like the two patches this week that locked thousands of fans out of ME3 and TOR? Like how they just pissed everyone off with this? Like how tons of people didn't get the rewards from the last ME3 weekend event? Like how a ton of people spent credits that they spent hours amassing to unlock the new characters…

I don't think a playable game is asking too much when you're paying a monthly subscription.
