Forums - Gaming - Capcom Controversially Sue Koei Over Patent Dispute

So...are they going to sue everyone that has implemented such features or...? Seriously Capcom, what are you trying to do here?



Around the Network

At this point, I kinda just hope Capcom fritter away their money in litigation and go under.

They just don't seem good at anything anymore, other than re-releasing games a zillion times until they're milked bone dry. The few decent attempts they've had at cultivating "new" games in the past few years (DMC; Dragon's Dogma; MonHun 4) seem to pale in comparison to their 4th re-releases of Street Fighter IV or Monster Hunter Tri etc.

This feels like a pointless lawsuit.  I'm no patent lawyer, but I don't feel like they have much of a case here.



Sony should buy Capcom. Awesome games, bad execs, bad fans.



This is not good, mark my words if Capcom can win this thing every developer will sue each other. Remember Apple and Google?

I hope they lose and Koei countersue them and it bankrupts Capcom so they have to give all their ips to Koei instead

Did I mention.... I like Koei

Who dosent?? Ok so lots of people dont, but you gotta like them more than Crapcom regardless.

Poor Capcom man, times must really be hard, this is so desesperate.

This is like when you break a relationship and try to get gifts back or something.

Worst, this is like; you break a relationship and try to get a refund of all the times you took her to the movies (tickets + popcorn).



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Rumble to warn gamers about things and new characters. if they win, them every developer in the world will have to pay them royalties. all games in existence use these two features.

This is just crazy...

That's why I don't understand what they are actually suing for, surely that kind of stuff isn't patentable.... right?


You can sue for anything, you will just lose the lawsuit, but you can try. I will sue you for using pictures on your avatar and using your fingers to type words in foruns. I have being doing it for years and now I want 10% of all you gain doing it.
