Monster Energy Goes After Indie Dev for Using the Word 'Monster'
I don't understand how the beverage company could rightfully object to any game title like "Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals".<p>It sounds like countless other games, and I can't imagine it being mistaken for a beverage.<p>Monsters are an idea going back in stories for millennia before the beverage brand existed.<p>Board games, and then video games, were inspired by these stories of monsters, to make interactive experiences around the ideas.<p>And the respective logos I just saw don't really look similar to my eye, other than both "horror-y/monster-y", but in different ways.<p>If the truth of situation turns out to be as stupid as is alleged, and Internet pitchforks are required, be aware that the Monster "M" logo <i>does</i> look much like a pitchfork (but again, the generic pitchfork came first, and is a widely used idea)...
