[URL="http://www.gamepolitics.com/2014/12/23/report-dennis-rodman-threatens-sue-glorious-leader-makers#.VJoKsF4AAA"]Gamepolitics[/URL] [QUOTE]TMZ reports that former bestie to North Korean leader Kim Jung Un Dennis Rodman says that his friendship is over and doesn't want to be associated with him - even in a video game. The video game he doesn't want to be part of is Glorious Leader, a side-scrolling action game featuring the infamous North Korean leader.[/QUOTE] [T]https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/003/040/005/44a29b564bec96327b041c2f83b6fa70_large.jpg?1418388106[/T] I can assume they'll remove rodman or probably turn the character name into an anagram of it. if you're interested in the game there's more info of it [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/884592321/glorious-leader"]here[/URL]
To bad, names can't be copy righted can they? Cause he is just going to have to suck it up if not.
Dennis Man Rod?
Back this shit up!
[QUOTE=thejjokerr;46788109]So I was looking at that game dev's website: [url]http://www.moneyhorsegames.com/[/url][/QUOTE] There's actually an update about it on their kickstarter.
When did his friendship end?
If I make a shitty Unity game where you assassinate Kim Jong Un, will I get hacked too?

We are sure that this is a hoax perpetrated by amateurs. We have NO reason to believe that this was done by the GOP or anyone affiliated with North Korea. It appears to be an opportunistic copycat, as we have been the target of hacking attempts in the past. And we stress that, despite what the message says, there is NO chance that our backers information has been compromised. As soon as we regain control over our website and work computers, we will upgrade our security and continue forward. Thank you for your understanding. [/quote]
Wait that wasn't a joke? Could have fooled me.
Oh no, please don't [B]stope[/B] me. [img]http://i.imgur.com/VfDVaxy.png[/img] If you're going to hack a website and leave a message you should probably spell everything right, you fuck.

At this point someone should start something vaguely anti north korean on a honeypot and see if they catch any flies.
[QUOTE=Ardosos;46790368]I think famous people can copyright their likeness or whatever, I always assumed that included their name.[/QUOTE] I was thinking more in the lines of using someones name and likeness (together) without their consent is not allowed anyway, regardless of being famous, but I am not sure. So changing the name and keeping the likeness is probably the best idea, because the name itself means very little but it is the person people recognize.
[QUOTE=Fangz;46788322]When did his friendship end?[/QUOTE] It was never a real friendship to begin with. [editline]25th December 2014[/editline] Also what the fuck's he's even saying? Of course he'll be "associated" with Kim Jong-un; he went to a fucking baseball game with him. (Which was pretty rad.)
