What's so strange about it though? EA *is* the publisher that ran the franchise, once the foremost CRPG saga, into the ground. Precedent is not on their side.

In Grand Knights History you can actually manage the pitch of your characters' voice

It's not the first. There already was one in Paris http://www.museedujeuvideo.com/

The PSP game actually answers this, but basically the keyblades are rare by the time of KH1 but were more common in the past, and there's *one* particular keyblade that's of mythical untold power. BBS's story is about how all of this was lost.

Worth noting the PSP game is easily the best or second best in the series gameplay-wise. And while story-wise it's confusing for a while (notably because you have to play the three heroes' scenarios to get the whole picture) by the time it reaches the end it does a wonderful job tying up many of...

And what's the production run on those Heavy Weapons Guys? For PR toys it numbers in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. For a 250$ statue you're gonna be lucky if there's more than two or three thousands. The statue market is extremely small compared to the kids' toys market. The...

It's an error assuming they'll choose any segment other than kids as their primary target. PR has always made its profits on toys and merchandising, and it'll continue to be so.

Regarding a gritty reboot, that's pretty much impossible because they adapt super sentai seasons, and "gritty" is precisely what they increasingly aren't. Here's the latest one and thus most likely to be converted into the next PR season: As for milking the show, Super Sentai is in its...

Script leaks plus the choice of Starbreeze suggest it's a FPS reimagining. Sorry.

But that's stupid. What game were they playing? The "lore" in XCom was forgettable, it was all about gameplay

A government is a bunch of people allowed to decide things in your stead, so that they won't cater to your every whim is inevitable. And switzerland's an even more interesting example since its political system allows much more decisional input from citizens than your average democracy, so it's...

No need to smuggle anything. Unless I misunderstood something those laws are meant to apply to retailers, not customers (who are permitted a great deal of stuff under swiss law). You could still buy your God of War 3 on amazon UK or play-asia or whatever, so non-casual gamers won't be affected...

Man, the thumbs thing is horrible.

That's because from what you say you've only been researching copyright law, which is only one aspect of IPs. Try trademark law instead.

No, see, that'd work because parody falls under fair use. But TSL wasn't a King's Quest parody, it was one more King's Quest, only by fans, and presented as such. In legal terms it was derivative, not transformative, and so in that respect didn't qualify for fair use.
