2day’s WTCupcake?! 🚫🧁Moment is c/o cbr.com and boing boing.net #fashionlaw = #iplaw

Jacob Shaw (or Ziggy) the developer of The Store is Closed, a new horror video game received a cease and desist letter from IKEA. Apparently the game is set in a warehouse furniture store that looks very much like IKEA.

The C&D letter demands that Shaw remove any indicia suggesting that the game store is an IKEA store, e.g., “blue and yellow sign with a Scandinavian name on the store, a blue box-like building, yellow vertical stiped shirts identical to those worn by Ikea personnel, a gray path on the floor, furniture that looks like Ikea furniture, and product signage that looks like Ikea signage. All the foregoing immediately suggest that the game takes place in an Ikea store.”[…]

Jacob’s response: “I was going to spend the last week of my Kickstarter preparing an update for all the new alpha testers,” UK game developer Jacob Shaw told Kotaku. “But now I’ve got to desperately revamp the entire look of the game so I don’t get sued.”

Ummmm…. Yeah you do… 🤔
