!eqg So the My Little Karaoke folks have released a disc with a bunch of new songs for their game. Pretty sweet, eh? http://ur1.ca/g875u

@equestriagaming Just wait till Hasbro forces them to change the lyrics and melody of the song.

@equestriagaming >download in ISO format
Why. What the hell's wrong with a simple ZIP archive. -
@flamingpandaomg Just wait until Hasbro does nothing at all, like they've done with the vast majority of released pony fangames.
-
@equestriagaming Noting Starswirl Academy and Fighting is Magic, which are the only two pony fangames that I've looked forward to.
-
@flamingpandaomg Those are the only examples you can name. In contrast, I can name tons that /haven't/ had anything done to them copyright-wise.
-
@redenchilada I don't care about any of the other fangames though. The only two I actually got hyped about got interfered with.
-
@flamingpandaomg I tend to find that the fangames I enjoyed the most were small, relatively unknown projects that most people overlooked in favour of the big stuff like Fighting is Magic.
-
@snowcone The operator of this EqG feed is Tuxxy, otherwise known as "the only guy who's actually posted stuff in the past few months".
-
@flamingpandaomg That doesn't mean /every/ fangame's going to get the hammer brought down on it. Stop whining about C&Ds.
-
@redenchilada @flamingpandaomg I've been doing this for over two years (the site is nearing its third anniversary), and I've only seen around four or five fangames hit with legal action from Hasbro.
-
@redenchilada But I won't though.
-
@flamingpandaomg It's the most annoying thing you could possibly do.
-
@redenchilada I doubt that.
-
@flamingpandaomg It's annoying.
-
@flamingpandaomg Ever taken a look at Equestria Daily's comment section whenever a fangame is posted? There's always a group of people that will ask "why do the developers even bother when they'll just get a C&D anyways", and quite frankly it gets on everyone's nerves (especially since they're wrong most of the time).
-
@equestriagaming what do you think makes the difference between those that do and don't get C&D'd?
-
@equestriagaming @redenchilada except it actually gets on my nerves that they interfered and I've complained once now instead of every time a game's posted, and the last time I checked I was allowed to complain. Pretty sure.
-
@pony The vast majority of the cases included "My Little Pony" in the title: MLP: Fighting is Magic, MLP:Online, etc. Equestria Tales was a notable exception because the poor sod actually asked Hasbro for permission, and they responded by shutting him down.
-
@pony MLP Online got it for careless branding (a game with that name can easily be mistaken for an official product, and I'm sure Hasbro doesn't want that). Fighting is Magic got it because they were slated to appear at EVO (which is the exact opposite audience that Hasbro wants the show affiliated with and would damage their brand). The general pattern is that games that actually threaten their brand are the ones that get targeted.
-
@equestriagaming huh.. What was Equestria Tales?
-
@redenchilada hmm.. meh.
