While this lawsuit is pretty ridiculous coming from this developer, it does bring up an interesting conundrum: Should people really profit as much as they do off the misfortune and shortcomings of bad games? There is a spectacular tendency to play up the failures and drill games for the perception of failure purely…

It’s a complicated issue, not one that’s quite so clear cut as it might seem. I’m more familiar with the Elgin marbles, but it’s basically the same thing here.

In unrelated news, Konami announces “Metal Gear Solid Fan Remake Pachinko”.

So wait, they’re angry that unnecessary objectification and sexualization is being removed from their games, so they’re accusing one of the people who works on the games of... sexualizing and objectifying characters?
