Via Fark.com (under the headline "Asinine"): Marvel suing makers of City of Heroes because they feel players can create characters that are too similar to their copyrighted heroes. Third graders and crayons reported to be next on Marvel's hit list. As usual, PvP gets it.
I'm an adult who plays City of Heroes and buys comic books. While I'm not exactly Marvel's target demographic (what with being a woman), I do buy their products. I go see their movies. Sometimes multiple times. With great power comes great responsibility: the responsibility to not piss off your fans and make them hate you. Lay off the lawsuits and let the fans play their MMORPGs.
In other news, I stayed in my PJs all day yesterday and finally got Freakazette up to level 31. Woo-hoo!
