They forget to sue the makers of like, every RPG, ever. But okay
LAME!
Choose your own adventure is a medium, not a trademark
Netflix is one of the biggest corporations in the industry right now, thus they wouldn’t just use a trademark without permission and pretend nothing happened. They probably knew they’d get sued but already have their defense meticulously planned.
When you cannot be arsed to make a video so you just use text. If I wanted to just read IGN I'd go to your website.
Oh look, somethings popular and making money, how can we get some of that? Absolute joke.
Breaking news: they are also suing literally every branching narrative RPG or visual novel on the market
Is that Ryuk in the thumbnail
Seriously!! Are all the words going to be own by some rich people who will sue everytime when someone uses it?? This is some crazy sht
If this works, I think Bethesda should sue companies that are failures.
How sway ?
Next Up: Noah Webster's Estate is suing anyone who uses words.
choose your own adventure is such a general subject, it’s basically a genre. you can’t own a genre. they may own the name but that’s it.
So why didn't he saw telltale games?

Wow they are MAD! What about Tell Tale games then? Did they have to do the samething?
Wait how do you out right OWN a genre of story telling, LOL
That like Bethesda owning the rights to the word 'Scrolls'… Oh wait
