TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[Koh]

It sounds just about as silly as teachers accusing students of cheating when they manage to pull a great grade on the next assignment out of previous mediocre grades. Just by looking at the mediocre grades, if they get a high grade next time, that automatically means they cheated, right? Who's to say they didn't just work their asses off to earn it?

It's no different than this. So they've been working on a mod for Nintendo's game for years. Just because of that history, we must assume that an original fighting game they make after that must be using that same source as a base?

Let's put it in another way. The Yooka-Laylee Team. So they've worked on the Banjo games and know how the underlying systems work. So, with that history, Microsoft should be able to sue them for copyright infringement, because they're making a game very similar in play style to their now owned Banjo IP, and have worked with its source for years, being developers on the team.

Doesn't this sound ridiculous? The entire case would be based on a hunch. Without any solid, definitive evidence to support their claims that the new work is fraudulent, that's as far as they can take it. I don't think even Nintendo would waste money on a case that has a foundation made entirely on a hunch.
