- wmil 4mo agoThey said they were going to release actual cartridges in 2026. I'm not sure if it has happened yet.
- stinkbeetle 4mo agoI wonder how well their company logo would go down with Sega's lawyers.
- hnlmorg 4mo agoSega are famously far less litigious than most games companies. They know about modders, community servers (for example PSO servers) and even fans who release brand new games using Sega mascots like Sonic. In fact (IIRC) that’s how Sonic Mania began life. This might be different given it’s a company logo and thus trademark. But I wouldn’t be so sure they’d get a cease and desist like if someone imitated Nintendos logo.
- marci 4mo agoI wonder where's the line between using a font and copyright/trademark infringement.
- hnlmorg 4mo agoIf the font is proprietary then using that without permission could be copyright infringement. If the logo can be confused as owned by another entity, then that could be argued as trademark infringement. But these cases would need to be decided in court. And different jurisdictions might be more restrictive than others.
