    Sega should sue them for intellectual property violation, given that the MAGA-ized logo still has the SEGA shout.

      Sega never goes after their fans for their fangames, but they could bring the whole “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” full circle and attempt to sue the Trump admin…

      Though given Sega’s dogshit legal skills with regards to Archie and Ken Penders, they might as well just ignore it.

        Ken Penders didn’t actually win the lawsuit, they settled out of court, he won publishing rights to some of the Archie Comics. He does not actually own Scourge The Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, or any other Sonic character, the reason Sega doesn’t use those characters is because Sega doesn’t want them used.

          I know Penders didn’t win the lawsuit, it was moreso Sega and Archie’s incompetence when it came to organizing rights for character creation and archving important legal documents pertaining to the ownership of licensed IP that allowed Penders and other Archie Sonic writers to walk off with their legally dubious OCs.

        Absolutely. I work in the industry, and one of my predictions for the coming years is a further commercialization of games as the cost of development falls, either the actual dev or just plain entrance cost. More places will make micro games to sell things, like mobile game ads for every day businesses. I was saying to my wife, I expect politicians and weirder avenues to take up games as a means of engaging with audiences.

        I sincerely hate that this is one of the first examples of what I imagined.

        If you would click on it, you would realize quickly that this is created just to generate outrage, for example the Tetris game is not even playable.

        Ro Khana and Massie have another discharge petition regarding Epstein files, and they want provide media something else to be outraged about.
