Absolutely brilliant.  God of War came out in 2005, I guess Microsoft can now just start making God of War games.  Might as well have Microsoft make Uncharted games too.  Since 10 years has lapsed and nobody can own Kratos and Drake....  you can't be serious.

Look folks it is this simple.  Mario is Nintendo's property.  You can't just take somebody's property.  THAT SIMPLE.  

Why the hell shouldnt microsoft be allowed to make a God of War game? Maybe they could make an amazing game. Why not give competition to the original creators to make something even better? I dont see what the problem is, if the game is good people will buy it, if its not they wont. Why are we trying to make it easier on these corporations instead of making it better for the consumers? Imagine how amazing new Pokemon game could be if we weren't forced to only buy them from the lazy bastards at Gamefreak. Where do you see anything here that affects you negatively? Yes perhaps there could be a royalty fee to the original creator if they are still alive but thats it.

..... I literally can't believe I have to explain this. Because God of War is worth a ton of money as a brand. If just anybody can make God of War, and they do a good job it takes money away from the owners of the IP via competition (ironically with their own creation). If just anybody can make God of War, and they do a bad job, the original IP owners lose brand equity (e.g. selling power = money). Seriously man, you cannot be serious. This has to be a joke.. Please tell me it is a joke. As for effecting me, it would BIG TIME. The company I work at owns IP. If somebody could just take our brand and make product.... heck I have 24 patents. And no, people can't just take my idea because you are still butthurt over Pokemon (which is a very good game that is selling gangbusters, so get over it). IP is what makes a company valuable. it is what keeps the doors open. It is the ingredient that keeps people employed. Last edited by Chrkeller - on 25 March 2020
