Poor dude, good lord. They should have to pay him enough to retire, for the disrespect and inconvenience.

spottyserval.furry.energy•344 days ago

Wait, I don't get what's going on

kitteemortis.bsky.social•343 days ago

Pretty much the person who wrote and illustrated the comic was approached by a company to make a game based on the comic, when they agreed, the game company then claimed they owned all comics the artist ever made and tried to sue them for it

spottyserval.furry.energy•342 days ago

Wtf qwq

zappit.bsky.social•344 days ago

Alex won? YES!

obicynkenobi.bsky.social•344 days ago

I hate this so much and we need to collectively run this publisher into the god damn GROUND.

Update: they settled out of court! I hope this is good for Alex

samanthaduke.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah! And same; hope they get paid fairly for the concessions they had to make

kitbaltoro.bsky.social•344 days ago

God, whoever the person suing them is, they're not only a total piece of shit but also the sorest of losers.

tomscud.bsky.social•344 days ago

so roughly speaking this is:
(Panel 1: I would like to make a game from my webcomic)
(Panel 2: We want to help market and package your game. Sign here.)
(Panel 3: lol now we own ur webcomic.)
(Panel 4: (judge with gavel and old timey wig): oh no)

moki.boymage.live•344 days ago

thank you for spreading the word, just wanted to mention Alex’s pronouns are they/them!

samanthaduke.bsky.social•344 days ago

Noted and appreciated! Will adjust going forward 💜

mystalia.bsky.social•344 days ago

Can this person finally be left alone and allowed to feel peace again? goddamn, a second lawsuit?

aluminumrabbit.bsky.social•344 days ago

Is this guy in the US? Can't the courts just throw out the case since it's already been decided or is the dick trying to find something else to sue him over?

anon44.bsky.social•344 days ago

Hopefully there's an Anti-SLAPP law that can help him out.

lookin4serenity.bsky.social•344 days ago

I think it might be happening in the UK given that the currency of the GFM (on my end at least) is in GBP

samanthaduke.bsky.social•344 days ago

Update: It's been brought to my attention that AN's pronouns are they/them/their. My bad.

samanthaduke.bsky.social•344 days ago

Gods I wish you could edit these posts for that

ashezth.bsky.social•344 days ago

Alex uses they/them pronouns btw

samanthaduke.bsky.social•344 days ago

Appreciated. My bad

iffybun.bsky.social•343 days ago

Which board games company is it I don't want to buy their shit by accident

drmajalis.bsky.social•131 days ago

Golden Bell Entertainment

creepingforscalemodels.com•344 days ago

What's the second one for? ffs

omlt.bsky.social•344 days ago

Each and every time, I will support Alex (funny, I almost picked my oh no t-shirt to wear today)

But, damnnnn that plaintiff is AWFUL

lyledal.bsky.social•344 days ago

Googling "Golden Bell Entertainment," and the company spends a surprisingly large amount of time in court. They seem to be just generally awful.

atlasbun.bsky.social•344 days ago

Happy for him! I had been following that.

specklet.bsky.social•344 days ago

oh no

thesporkmaster.bsky.social•344 days ago

Dude needs to start counter sueing the company for mental anguish and the loss of his time in fighting them for his property.

samanthaduke.bsky.social•344 days ago

Word. I think they just want their work back, that alone is taking a lot of time, energy, and money. But man I'd be throwing all the hands if it was me in that place
