Within the game's lore, "Overwatch"(named after the millitart tactic and the fact that they watch over the world, so deep) was an organization that was created to bring peace to the world in light of a robot uprising(among other things). Once all the world wide threats were taken care of it disbanded. The characters we'll play are it's former members, and other people(or robots) that had dealings with them.Scarim Coral said:what is an "overwatch"?
There are also people (personally, I call them dickheads) who are modifying their ASGs (usually sniper rifle models) so they can shoot on a further distance. Those things can hurt like hell, I can tell you that. As for paintball... I have a friend who is frequently playing, and I've seen some of the bruises he got from a close range encounters. Yep, definitely wouldn't want my phone anywhere near those kind of activities.BeerTent said:Airsoft is so weak, I highly doubt they can crack anything.Grace_Omega said:I don't think I'd want my smartphone anywhere near airsoft pellets.

Unless you're using metal pellets. Then I imagine you'd feel it at anything other than point blank.

Copyright laws are much different from Trademark laws. This is a trademark case.WhiteTigerShiro said:Granted that I don't know copyright law that well, but since one of these is for a paintball-related app, and another is a PC video game, don't they not really clash since they're products for two completely different services and customer bases? I could swear I've seen cases like this where I would have thought that one company could sue the other for copyright infringement, but it didn't matter since it was two completely different products.
Actually, they also sell the mount for your gun. it seems to fully cover the back of your phone, so any shot that come from the front would it the case.Yossarian1507 said:There are also people (personally, I call them dickheads) who are modifying their ASGs (usually sniper rifle models) so they can shoot on a further distance.

The idea sounds cool though, if you're not scared and/or playing with the reliable crew.
OT: I wonder how many real, existing words are still up for grabs in term of patents for IPs, and how much of a problem this will be in the future, if no one will change those stagnant, outdated copyright laws. Sucks for Blizzard, either way, they'll have to pay some money for this oversight - probably to the app creators, since it's probably easier than rebranding an already hyped game.
A semantic quibble as far as I'm concerned.Baldr said:Alleged_Alec said:And this is why copyrights on already existing terms are stupid.PunkRex said:For fucks sake, it doesn't even need to be in the same ballpark as the other product to run into copy right problems, bullshit.Copyright laws are much different from Trademark laws.

when i played paintball the instructor told us not to shoot eachother from too close because the guns had enough force that if hit at right angle it could shatter bones in your fingers.BeerTent said:Airsoft is so weak, I highly doubt they can crack anything.

But on topic, copy-right law confuses the fuck out of me. Is there a time limit? What about Taken, with aliens, and Taken, with Liam Neeson?
i bet its already trademarked by Ubisoft.Moxin Rift said:My son just suggested they release it in a hyper-bugged and unfinished state and call it Overpatch.
