The Bobby Blackwolf Show

382 - 05/05/13 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Interview with Emeric Thoa about Combo Crew, Game Dev Tycoon Piracy

  • Indie studio Green Heart Games released their first game, Game Dev Tycoon, this past week and did a social experiment with game pirates that turned into a brilliant marketing ploy. We also look at if it is a direct ripoff of Game Dev Story.
  • The creators of internet memes Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat have sued Warner Bros over the unauthorized use of their intellectual property in Scribblenauts. The creators claim that it's no different than licensing Nintendo characters.
  • Our final interview from PAX East is with Emeric Thoa from The Game Bakers, talking about their upcoming touchscreen beatemup Combo Crew.
  • Then, OLR and Bobby talk about the next year of VOG (we turned one year old this week!) and the OUYA.

I love that this episode taught us Bobby would choose a virtual crown over his friends. ;)

It kinda sucks that WB didn't pay attention to what it's being added to their games. Though I think, like Rob said, they did it because of ignorance rather than just blatantly stealing and hopefully this will be settled with all the parties happy.

Though I AM surprised that people sided with WB on this one, especially considering the whole "Baby Got Back" scandal =/
