Blizzard Vs The Internet
Good luck Blizzard, you gonna need it.

Which, as I've already explained in this thread, is a lie that's only perpetuated because it sounds cool to say. Bad publicity is better than no publicity (see: Hatred), but bad publicity is not good for something that is well known.

Also at you all that are saying that they won't have any chance at removing all the Overwatch porn on the internet..... spoiler: They don't care. They won't try to do so. They're just doing this to send a message, and get good publicity.

The porn was good publicity, it promoted the game, regardless of intentions which meant more people might buy the game. We know not all publicity is good, somethings you can't see as anything but bad (the saying is said with a tongue in cheek really), yet in this case.
Hmm, pie.

It's not really fair use though. Porn is rarely given away free, most of the time people were paid commissions to make it or are after ad revenue. Besides, if the copyright holder can argue that it is damaging their own products (and if an Overwatch google search produces mostly porn then they've got a pretty good argument there since it will certainly put any parents off buying the game for their kids) then it's also not covered by fair use. |
google only shows your self in the mirror if you search on it.
Second its fair use, they arent are selling this porn, and i cant think of any videogame publisher or anything else getting royalties from the porn industry like you claim, or did Sarah Palin get some money too?
And yes there is various porn which is sold but contains characters from videogames, yet only Blizzard seems to care here even for the free fan made stuff.

You only care when it suits the moment, let's be real here it suits anyone when negative news is spun and rolled with and it's usually coming from people who have fired shots at some other company or system, like most of the bad MS news comes from people not all that interested with MS or Nintendo when they get bad news. There are also IP laws and Blizzard does have to protect them, the direct 3D model rips represent the characters from the game, stylized artwork does not, which is exactly why Blizz are only going for the 3D made porn vids and not the fan created R34 artwork. |
If someone would make a mod using overwatch characters to make an entireley different game while offering it for free. Would that be okay to take it down too? Because this is in the direction Blizzard is going which is bad, i dont get why people here defend a giant company over its dedicated fans.
And stop with this accusations and going on a personal level all the time instead debating the subject, Right at the first post you did. I constantley made threads about censorship and stuff like that for everything, but because its Blizzard now you care all of the sudden?

Even if they are doing it free and not trying to make money (which I doubt) it's still not fair use because of the bolded. And FYI I just checked, searched 'Overwatch Tracer' on google, went to images and there's a Tracer dick pic on the first page... It's easy for Blizzard to argue that that is damaging their IP, thus not fair use. |
Blizzard could easily talk with google and prevent this, you can even flag pictures yourself to be removed

There was articles about the porn in Overwatch. If a parent sees that (even just the headline), the chances of them buying OVerwatch for their kid will drop substantially, even though it happens subconciously.

If you have safe search turned off, you'll always see some kind of porn or nudity. I doubt that blizzard could make google do anything worthwile to fix it other than tell you to "change your settings".

You seem to have a warped view of what can and cannot be considered fair use.
I don't get why you defend one giant company over others, I mean you've done it enough times in the face of Nintendo and MS, I haven't seen you hound every single company within the games industry in the two and a half years I've been on this forum, if anything I see you hound Western companies and those on other platforms mroe so than Japanese and those on your own pref system.
I don't have to stop anything because you aren't in charge of what I can and cannot add, I am free to point out your xenophobic and selective behaviour ebcause as it stands it is warping the general topic itself, just like it does whenever there is a PC topic, you come in and warp it something different.
You make threads of censorship inr egards to porn or ecchi like content, never seen you vouch for other forms of non media censorship, where are all those threads, you know the ones that deal with every other possible form of censorship ever?. If you claim you are for soemthing then cover all those bases instead of just one when it suits you, if you're against censorship then go all the way and get outside the room to campaign on the streets, write letters to the media etc, don't just sit here and claim you don't like it when boobs get censored and calling it a day.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
You cannot stop the internet from fapping.
