¿Alguna vez imaginaste que una simple palabra como "monstruo" podría desatar una guerra legal? ¿O que los tatuajes de un atleta en un videojuego podrían ser motivo de demanda? El mundo de los videojuegos está repleto de batallas que trascienden las pantallas y se instalan en tribunales, donde la creatividad choca frontalmente con los límites de la propiedad intelectual.Juega IP Sidequest Showdown. Un juego tipo escape room inspirado en este episodio. Déjanos un comentario si lograste descifrar el código.Detrás de cada título viral, cada mecánica innovadora y cada personaje memorable acecha la sombra de posibles infracciones. Descubrimos cómo Monster Energy obligó a Ubisoft a abandonar el nombre "Gods & Monsters" simplemente por incluir una palabra que consideraban suya, desatando una cascada de acciones similares contra franquicias tan establecidas como Monster Hunter y hasta Pokémon. Esta estrategia, conocida como "bullying de marcas", busca agotar recursos del contrincante más que ganar casos reales.Los límites del realismo también generan controversias fascinantes. Capcom enfrentó una demanda millonaria por utilizar texturas fotográficas sin permiso en sus juegos, mientras que Activision ganó una batalla histórica por mostrar vehículos Humvee en Call of Duty bajo protección de libertad artística. Entretanto, los fans que reconstruyeron GTA 3 y Vice City para mejorarlos descubrieron que su homenaje era visto como infracción por Take-Two.La industria japonesa marca tendencia protegiendo hasta las mecánicas de juego más básicas mediante patentes. Nintendo consiguió 30 millones de dólares de un desarrollador que usó controles táctiles similares a los suyos, y Sega demandó por mecánicas gacha protegidas. Estos casos establecen precedentes peligrosos: ya no solo se protegen personajes y logos, sino también cómo funciona un juego.¿Quieres convertirte en experto legal gamer? Prueba nuestro juego Juega IP Sidequest Showdown en www.intangiblia.com donde te enfrentarás a misiones inspiradas en estos casos reales. Recuerda: la creatividad corre rápido, pero la propiedad intelectual te alcanza más rápido que un boss final con Rage Mode.
Join the Game Deflators podcast as John and Ryan kick things off by sharing their latest gaming pickups and video games they are currently playing; including Shadow the Tomb Raider and Risk of Rain 2. The conversation takes a turn as they break down the recent controversy surrounding Bungie allegedly using an artist's work without permission—what does this mean for corporate accountability in game development? Next, the duo digs into the ongoing efforts by a modders to reverse Nintendo-influenced changes to Palworld. With the gaming industry constantly shifting, how far can modders push back before publishers crack down? Wrapping up the episode, they shine a spotlight on Go Go Hypergrind, the quirky and elusive GameCube skateboarding game developed with input from a legendary animation studio. Does this cult classic still hold up, or is it destined to remain a deep-cut oddity?

Grand Theft Auto VI promises to be the biggest video game (and likely entertainment product, full stop) in history. But unfortunately, it's been delayed. It'll come out just over a year from when this episode publishes, and a brand new trailer indicates it'll launch with all of GTA's essential trappings: Cars, guns, insane characters, a crazy story, and -- of course! -- lots and lots of crime. What are our fresh thoughts on GTA6? And do we think it'll make its new May 2026 release date? There's a lot of other news to get to this week, too. For starters, a new PlayStation first party studio has been revealed, though we already sorta knew about them. They're called teamLFG, they've been splintered off from Bungie, and they're making a more lighthearted multiplayer game. Is there cause to be optimistic about this project? Plus: The next Xbox domino falls, as Gears of War will arrive on PlayStation 5 this August, something that was completely unthinkable just a couple of years ago. But what about the other Gears games? And when's Halo coming over, too? Later: Mafia: The Old Country gets a release date, EA indicates Battlefield 6's reveal is imminent, Death Stranding 2 is getting its own DualSense controller, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Are we ever going to get another PlayStation Showcase? With the US threatening tariffs on foreign movies, should we be worried about foreign games suffering a similar fate? Why does Colin fail to see the intrinsic value of the modding community? Is Bradley Ellis slowly-but-surely taking Last Stand over from the inside?Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.Timestamps: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:06:46 - Mumu 0:16:12 - The Man Who Sold the World 0:32:40 - Sacred in space 0:46:20 - Punching Up takeover 0:49:06 - PSN horror story 0:58:14 - GTA VI delayed 1:35:50 - teamLFG 1:55:48 - Gears of War Reloaded coming to PS5 2:26:33 - Xbox games dominated PSN 2:36:36 - Mafia: The Old Country releases August 8th 2:46:24 - Destiny 2 expansion revealed 2:57:38 - EA gets ready for Battlefield 3:04:56 - Death Stranding 2 Dualsense 3:08:23 - Game sales 3:09:58 - What We've Been Playing 3:55:34 - Remaster/remake naming 4:01:45 - PlayStation Showcase 4:08:11 - PS5 identity 4:13:33 - Tariffs on video games 4:20:14 - Live service pricing 4:28:31 - Modding projects Learn more about your ad choices.

This Episodes Questions: Hey guys! Long time listener, first time caller! I recently took home an old(ish) Fusion3 F410. (Our department at work wanted to get rid of it.) We also have a Raise3d Pro3, BambuLab X1C and X1E, so this thing is a real pain to use in comparison. About the only good thing it has going for it is the big build volume (355x355x315), other than that there are a couple of annoyances: - Glass build plate - Auto bed-leveling is hit or miss. It only probes the 4 corners where aluminum tape is used for conductivity. - Reaaally long Bowden tube setup - Weird kevlar string used for the X-Y motion system.. but I guess it works. - Old Duet2 board and RepRap software - Discontinued by Fusion3 I volunteered to take it home because I have some ideas! I want to see if I can breath new life into it with some mods: - Magnetic PEI build plate - Direct-drive extruder on the toolhead - BigTreeTech control board and Klipper Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get the above mods done? I'm not too familiar with Voron printers, but I wonder how much I can pull from their large-format printers as far as parts, electronics used, etc. I can design/print custom part solutions if needed, and have access to sheet metal for the bed. I also have some experience with Klipper, and I think getting that properly configured will be an undertaking on its own. Thanks! Matt Hi guys,I recently stumbled over your podcast and really like the bandwidth of topics you guys talk about! Currently I own 2x K1 Max but will soon replace 1 of them by a K2 Plus. You guys are talking a lot about creating your own configuration settings for materials and such. I would really like to know how should someone approach this systematically. Let's imagine I have Creality print 5.1 ;-) which is splitting all settings on one side to a Filament setting and on the other side to the different layer height configurations. Lately I had a standard PLA - which caused problems - and ended up by changing the temperature in the Filament settings and the max speed in the layer height configuration. This solved the problem but I will never have just one setting to load for this material. So now there are actually two questions: - How to approach a perfect setting for a material (and height) systematically? - Any tips and tricks for Creality Print 5.1 on how to manage multiple settings? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Michael from Switzerland

From his early days tinkering with Texas Instruments computers to becoming a key figure in the controversial world of game console hacking, Gary's story is one of innovation, legal battles, and personal redemption. Host James Maude explores Gary's evolution from a curious teenager to a prominent figure in the modding community, culminating in a high-profile legal case brought by Nintendo. Gary candidly shares his experiences, including his arrest in the Dominican Republic, his challenging time in the US prison system during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the eventual resolution of his case.
