I just released my fighting game Parable Academy (https://t.co/oqxEHYqdoW) and I heard from a Polish acquaintance about the conversion issue @PolishOurPrices , it's really ridiculous lmao. Valve wanted to charge 46 PLN, I dropped it to 37!

Heard from a Polish acquaintance about the conversion gap, and yeah it's ridiculous LOL. Valve wanted the game to be zł46, I dropped it to zł37!

@samreich Hi Sam!!! I've made a bunch of experimental web games over the years - I've cycled between programming, art, and sound depending on the project, and I've also done solo dev stuff. I'd love the chance to work with you all!

@SolitaryVices @heymintmiller @Ettin64 I don’t like pitching on here but I think you’d definitely like my steampunk comic ( https://t.co/myrOEsxKzJ ), facing against the extreme horrors of capitalism is the whole point of the story!

The PAs for the NBC Upfronts sent some Dunkin' to the line outside of Radio City Music Hall today to show their support! 🥰 #WGAStrong #1u

@aDyspraxicEnby @DumbBullHat @StickerTricker Weather & New Pucci were both free downloads, I'm guessing they were already done at launch & held back to avoid spoiling the anime. Super annoying how returning characters are apparently gonna be paid DLC now though, especially since they had to start with The Worst One.

@failratePrime @KlaessCulptures @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Not the trademarking part, the removal part.

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KaizoTakeuchi @panthavma @MarcDWyz Refusing to change your mind when given new information on how trademark "violations" are actually treated is 100 points lost. Sorry, bud, you lost the debate.

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @RunDaltonRun @MarcDWyz @Sirlin So there WAS an option other than Sirlin threatening to sue unless they were removed from Steam immediately before the Winter Sale... weird, you seemed to think it was super urgent earlier...

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KlaessCulptures @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Weird how this thing everyone has to do seems to be a thing only one game developer actually does...

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KaizoTakeuchi @panthavma @MarcDWyz Ok, but your solution to "just register a trademark and see if the government rejects it" literally won't work. Changing your argument when you're proven wrong is another 15 points lost.

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @RunDaltonRun @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Wait, but I thought you liked games that infringed on trademarks getting their Steam pages shut down right before the Steam Winter Sale?

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @RunDaltonRun @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Yes, for example, these games should be removed from Steam immediately:

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KlaessCulptures @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Oh no... Supergiant, hurry! You're gonna lose ALL future revenue for your upcoming sequel!!!

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KaizoTakeuchi @panthavma @MarcDWyz To my knowledge, you can't register a trademark unless you are currently using that mark in commerce. They even ask when you first started selling with that mark. Y.O.M.I. Hustle is totally free.

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @AlienRopeBurn @MarcDWyz @Sirlin If this is the only correct answer once an infringer enters the market, why did he wait two years after Yomi Alliance and Yomi Domini entered the market to remove them from Steam? He must have lost so much money by waiting...

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @KaizoTakeuchi @panthavma @MarcDWyz Oh so problem solved, rename them to Hustle Yomi and Domini Yomi. Weird how I didn't need to threaten to sue either developer to come up with those solutions, nor did I have to wait two years for a Steam Winter Sale...

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @panthavma @WWNihilism @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Or maybe trademark law isn't as broad as you think. Would the issue be sidestepped by naming the game YomiDomini? Or Yomi's Domini? If a game was named "YOMI 2", sure, that's a problem, but nobody would confuse "Yomi Domini" with "YOMI" (all caps). Sorry, you just lost 10 points.

[snuffysam @snuffysam]

@failratePrime @panthavma @WWNihilism @MarcDWyz @Sirlin Two different companies, two different trademark holders, both officially registered by USPTO and currently listed as live trademarks. Having four letters in common isn't similar enough to be considered brand confusion even when both companies sell baking supplies.
