Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals is an indie horror game created by Glowstick Entertainment that was released in 2020, but it’s back in the news after Monster Energy (yes, the drinks company) threatened the small studio with legal action against the developer for using the word “Monster” in the title of their game.
The CEO and Founder of Glowstick Entertainment, Vincent Livingdoesn’t plan to change its game name or logo, and has made some pretty harsh statements against Monster Energy and how the company is going after games that have the word “monster” in their titles.
Livings said, “Monster Energy’s lawyers are after us right now because (Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals) has the word ‘Monsters’ in it. They claim our game is similar to their energy drink. Yeah, that’s it. what they say… Instead of giving up I’m going to fight them in court I’ll share everything I got from Monster Energy for other game developers to see their tactics in case they ever want to put the word “monster(s)” in their in-game title and must deal with Monster Energy accordingly.”
We don’t know when it will go to court or if it will be settled out of court, but Livings plans to raise money for the fight with a stream later this month, where he plans to play other games. who have the word “monster”. ” in the title. .
