Scandal Snatch Special
Cinemablend have tallied up the total number of YouTube subscribers who were exposed to Microsoft’s “Say nice things about Xbox One and we will pay you” agreement with Machinima and it’s a whopping 11,789,990 people.
Meanwhile, King, publishers of Candy Crush Saga, managed to make themselves unpopular by trying to register “Candy” as a trademark.
It then emerged that an indie developer had their game cloned on the orders of the King management. It appears King had told another developer that the creators of Scamperghost had backed out of a deal, so they cloned the game anyway.
This was not the case, King and the Scamperghost team had not signed any contract. King have now removed their clone game, Pac Avoid, for the iTunes store and released a statement:
“King does not clone other peoples’ games. King believes that [intellectual property] — both our own IP and that of others — is important and should be properly protected. Like any prudent company, we take all appropriate steps to protect our IP in a sensible and fair way. At the same time, we are respectful of the rights and IP of other developers.”
The team that cloned have since responded to the statement:
The claim that “King had all this new ideas for the game, which they knew were good, but no game to implement it in” is a complete lie, and no further input or instructions were given beyond “clone the game”.

Re the game story, I’m baffled as to what they’re doing. My town had a Game (pretty much games only, plush looking store) and Gamestation (retro consoles, collectables, few electronics and almost intentionally a bit run down). They close down Gamestation, and now seem hell bent on recreating it under the Game brand – they’ve even gone for the same slightly tired layout of the shop.
I really want a strong game retailer on the high street, but I fear for their future

Looking forward to Castlevania 2: LoS – although I’m a little disappointed it won’t be appearing on PS4. At least, not yet…
