News Capcom Sues Koei-Tecmo

Capcom has decided to sue Koei-Tecmo over patent infringement for 50 titles for about 9.43 million. However, this patent started back in 2002, before games like Dead or Alive: Ultimate were even released. So I wonder what this will do to Team Ninja, and how they are involved.

Another patent was mentioned that KT copied a controller vibrating feature for invite notifications that has "greatly contributed" to Tecmo's game sales. I'm sorry... to those that are blind and deaf at the same time!?

Capcom is looking for 5-10% in licensing fees. They're also demanding that several Koei Tecmo games are suspended in sales.

 

This is a culture that's starting to take place recently. SNK sued Square-Enix a couple weeks ago as well.. I foresee more things like this in the future.

SNK's beef with Square was legit cause they used SNK's characters in their manga without consent. Crapcom's beef however is not justified at all. What they're doing is just retarded.

 

Okay then capcom... i'm now having second thoughts about buying your games now... they're probably just either bored or going insane

well i wont be buying this then

Apple Vs Samsung. Apple vs Microsoft. Microsoft vs just about everyone. It's been going on for years, but now they're doing it with games since it's worked with everything else.
