Marvel Files Lawsuit Against Comic Creators to Get Out of Sharing Copyright

Marvel, which is owned by the Disney corporation, is attempting to file a lawsuit against the estates of Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, Larry Lieber, and other former Marvel comics artists who created some of their flagship characters like Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and The Avengers.

Steve Ditko
According to the Hollywood Reporter, these lawsuits were sparked in August after the Steve Ditko estate, in particular, demanded the termination of Ditko’s created character Spider-Man. Under the termination provisions of copyright law, authors or their estate can reclaim their characters from the IP holder after a set period of time. According to the termination, Marvel would only own the character up until 2023 upon which the rights would be co-owned by Ditko.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Disney in turn is seeking to invalidate these copyright termination notices, claiming that they own the full right to these characters over their original creators due to the business method used when creating them in the 1960s.
The crux for Disney’s litigation argument lies in how early Marvel characters like Spider-Man and The Avengers were made under the “Marvel Method”. This refers to how early Marvel comics were made under a loose collaborative effort where the artist would only be given a general plot outline of what they were drawing without the actual script from the writer. Editors would then come in and finalize what panels and script lines would make it into the comic. Artists were usually contracted to be paid by the page.

Because of this, Disney and Marvel can argue that creators were only one part of a collaborative effort to create the character alongside Marvel-owned resources and personnel. Therefore they cannot claim sole ownership of the character even if they came up with the design, backstory, or other elements of lore.
Dan Petrocelli, a representative of Disney said to The New York Times specifically about the lawsuit with Stan Lee brother and Hulk creator Larry Liber:
“Since these were works made for hire and thus owned by Marvel, we filed these lawsuits to confirm that the termination notices are invalid and of no legal effect,”
“Marvel assigned Lieber stories to write, had the right to exercise control over Lieber’s contributions and paid Lieber a per-page rate for his contributions.” Those conditions render his contributions “work made for hire, to which the Copyright Act’s provisions do not apply,”
It was this reasoning that allowed Marvel to win a similar lawsuit with the creator of Ghost Rider in 2013.
The artist estates are being represented by Marc Toberoff who has similar previous experience working for the estates of Superman creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster for copyright termination against DC Comics and Jack Kirby for his creations like the X-Men with Marvel. He was unsuccessful in these cases.
In an email to the New York Times, Toberoff says

“At the time all these characters were created, their material was definitely not ‘work made for hire’ under the law,” he said in an email in response to Disney’s filings. “These guys were all freelancers or independent contractors, working piecemeal for carfare out of their basements.” Hence, not “traditional, full-time employees,”
“At the core of these cases is an anachronistic and highly criticized interpretation of ‘work-made-for-hire,’”

If Marvel loses the lawsuit they will be forced to share the characters with the estates of their creators and potentially lose billions in having to pay for the use of copyrighted characters.

Summoners War: Chronicle Releases New Monster Art

Fans may have gotten an early taste of Summoners War: Chronicle back when they released their eye-catching new trailer last month, but Com2uS has decided to showcase some of the monster designs with art from the game.

Summoners War: Chronicle is an MMO based off of the Summoners War IP, letting players explore dungeons together and fight off monsters.

The Cinematic Trailer showed off the “Foggy Prison” area, showing a party of adventurers fighting back the hordes of goat-like monsters.

Based on the trailer it will have similar MMO archetypal roles, with healers, tanks and DPS classes. Healers can even resurrect fallen heroes, so most mistakes won’t be permanent.
“In the game setting, Vita and Tau, trapped in the Foggy Prison, appear as powerful boss monsters in the party dungeon, and the illustration also depicts the personality of the bosses and monsters well,” Com2uS said in a statement.
For those curious, the 4 monsters that appear in the trailer are Ifrit, Panda Warrior, Martial Cat and Hellhound. Considering the connection, it’s safe to assume more monsters from the Summoner’s War IP will likely make an appearance.

Khorne Takes The Spotlight In Total War Warhammer III

SEGA has shown off the Khorne faction in Total War Warhammer III, as part of the Warhammer SKULLS event to promote the upcoming game.

Khorne is the Chaos god of Blood and Slaughter, best known for the chant of his daemons, “Blood for the Blood god, Skulls for the Skull Throne”. His signature daemon, the Bloodletter, is arguably the most iconic of Warhammer’s Chaos Daemons, carrying wicked blades to bleed out their foes.

The Legendary Lord for the Khorne faction in Total War Warhammer III is Skarbrand, The Exiled One. Exiled from the service of Khorne for his pride, he commands his forces violently and excellently.

As the most powerful melee combatant to ever grace the battlefields of Total War: WARHAMMER, Skarbrand has a host of unique abilities which improve his battle prowess. His twin axes, Slaughter & Carnage increase his damage output with every kill made, whilst Bellow  of Endless Fury allows him to unleash a devastating fire-breath attack. Beyond these, he also has the passive ability to inflict rampage upon his weak-minded foes, rendering them incapable of retreating from the slaughter he presides over.
Meanwhile, here’s what SEGA had to say about the Khorne faction and their playstyle:
An embodiment of their patron god, the daemons of Khorne are muscled, brutal and embrace spilling blood at every opportunity. Detesting the use of magic, they are a high-tempo army that relishes closing the distance upon the enemy with devastating impact before unleashing their vicious hand-to-hand combat skills. The longer these skull-craving warriors remain in the thick of combat, the more proficient they become at fighting as battle bonuses unlock.
Beastmen Galore

Meanwhile, things aren’t done quite yet for Total War Warhammer II, which sees the addition of its final DLC.
The Silence & The Fury will feature the long-awaited return of theBeastmen led by Taurox The Brass Bull who will be dueling it out with the Oxyotl The Unseen from the Lizardmen.
More information on this DLC will be released at a later date.

With the global version on the horizon, the only thing missing is a specific release date. Thankfully, the game also announced that it is currently recruiting closed beta testers. Unfortunately, this closed beta test is only available for those in the United States.

Developed by Shift Up, Singapore-based Level Infinite, a subsidiary of Tencent will be publishing the global version of the game. For those who are unaware, other mobile titles published by Level Infinite include the likes of PUBG Mobile and Alchemy Stars.
NIKKE: Goddess of Victory puts players in the shoes of a team of androids who fight for humanity. It makes use of live2D and 2.5D Paper Folding technology to present an anime shooting game unlike anything that came before it. With over 60 characters to gacha for, the game is a third-person cover-based shooter and thanks to this mechanic and the camera angle, the fan service is certainly…something.

The South Korean version will launch later this year, so it’s safe to assume that the global version will release close to or simultaneous with said version. Stay updated with the game by following its Twitter page.

Grisaia Barcarolle launches on DMM Games

The latest addition to the Grisaia series is Grisaia Barcarolle, a browser-based game available through DMM Games.

Yuuji Kazami, protagonist of Grisaia no Kajitsu, is playing the VRMMO game, “Pandora”, as part of a rehabilitation process following his triumph over Heath Oslo. Pandora is the first “all-sensory” VRMMO game in Japan, with a very simple story of an interstellar ship known as the Ark landing on a foreign planet, with “the Spears” tasked to fight monsters. However, things aren’t so clear cut, with a conspiracy that threatens the peace. “Pandora’s box” has been opened…

Grisaia Barcarolle is a real-time battle game, with the preview screenshots reminiscent of similar titles such as Princess Connect. The requirements to run the game are merely Windows OS 8.1 / 10 or macOS 10.15 or later, with Google Chrome being the recommended browser.

It’s likely the game will get a mobile app in the future, which isn’t an unusual occurrence (see: Kamigoroshi no Aria). At first glance, the game looks a bit more light-hearted than what the series is known for, but things will probably escalate quite quickly.
One of the Grisaia‘s series ventures outside of their usual visual novel games, Grisaia Chronos Rebellion, was unfortunately short-lived, having shut down 31 August 2021. However, its official Twitter bio states that Chronos Rebellion is getting a PC version, so that story can live on yet.

AGES 2016 prize money yet to be given out, what’s the hold up?

AGES 2016 (ASEAN Games for Esports) is a regional event organized by Platinum Eden Sdn Bhd *in partnership with* Esports Malaysia, the Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports, Communications and Multimedia Ministry and the Ministry of Higher Education. It’s been 90 days since the event ended back in May, but the prize money and salary have yet to be given out to the players as well as staff involved.

This is not the first time AGES 2016 has receive negative reviews. Earlier this year the tournament was delayed because of internet issues, and also an issue with FACEIT where AGES blamed them for the game time constraint.

Many players have been sending complaints to the AGES 2016 official Facebook page last month, but the officials never gave them a definite answer. AGES 2016 tournament wrapped up at the end of May, but it seems that the agreement to pay out the $ 250,000 (about one million ringgit) prize pool has been delayed yet again. Malaysian caster Muhammad “FLAVA” Farouq posted on ESM Esports Malaysia’s Facebook page yesterday:

And this was their reply:
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

What was basically a request for some disclosure from the officials was taken down last night from the ESM Facebook page, along with the whole visitors post feature. Apparently, ESM mentions that “some of the parties have already received their payments and more will follow suit in stages.”
All that aside, the terms of payment was that the prize and salary were to be given out within 90 days after the end of the event. Today’s the 90th day, and with all the comments on AGES 2016 Facebook page, it doesn’t seem like anyone has been paid yet.
Not sure how this is going to be played out, whether it’s going to be a scam like Major All Stars or not, it will yet again stain the name of eSports in Malaysia if Esports Malaysia do not settle this quickly.

Transformers Heavy Metal Announces Shutdown With Less Than 1000 USD In Sales

Transformers Heavy Metal, the location-based AR game using Transformers characters has announced its shutdown, just 4 months after its soft launch.

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

In a tweet, it was announced Transformers Heavy Metal would end its service on August 31st, 2022.
“We grew up with the Transformers on TV, in the movies, and playing with them in our backyards. As such, part of our vision for TRANSFORMERS: Heavy Metal was to bring them to life right in our own neighborhoods!”, the developers said in a blog post. “Bigger than anything we had ever seen, but in our attempts, there were many challenges. We’re incredibly proud of the game we’ve made and for the huge support that fans around the world gave us”.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

In addition to the pending shutdown, they announced that the beta for Transformers Heavy Metal in regions where it had not fully launched would also be taken down, and that the cash shop for the game would be disabled.
Owning any virtual currency doesn’t seem to warrant a refund, since the developers are suggesting players spend all of theirs before the game’s closure.

Transformers Heavy Metal was a Pokemon Go-styled game, letting players collect their favorite Transformers characters and battle them.
While it shared mechanical similarities to Pokemon Go, it didn’t so much share the numbers- Appmagic reports the game had just under 35,000 downloads in its lifetime, with less than USD1000 in lifetime earnings.
This is partially due to its limited release- the game never got a proper global release, instead only launching in select countries, of which Malaysia was one of them.

Transformers Heavy MetalPublisher: NianticDeveloper: NianticRelease Date: 2022-04-01Android, iOS
At the brink of a looming Decepticon invasion on Earth, Bumblebee and Hound launch the Guardian Program, a network of human allies working with the Autobots to keep the planet safe. With Starscream hot on their trail, Bumblebee brings you into the program.

Art style/theme – Last Oasis has a unique visual style and theme of a late post-apocalyptic Earth, where Nomads struggle to survive under a burning sun.
Creatures with intelligent AI that you can fight both from your walker and in-person – creatures in Last Oasis all have unique behaviors and serve various purposes in their hunt. Players can fight them both on walkers and in personal combat, depending on size and behavior.
Directional melee combat – Last Oasis is the only Survival game that offers fully directional combat, heavily inspired by Mount & Blade, For Honor, and other titles.
Giant boss-type monsters with battle howdahs, full of Rupu-controlled siege weapons – Offer never-before-seen challenges in hunting them down.
Schematics are a reworked technology acquisition mechanic, which will greatly affect progression and player-run economy – Schematics are a special type of an item that allows a player to craft or build a specific item or structure, defined by it.
Grappling Hooks, Wingsuits, and Flying Walkers – Vertical movement allows for the first in its genre freedom of movement, both for exploration and combat.
New Rupu types and overhauled Rupu Camps – Players will experience melee-focused PvE early on, but later fortified camps will require planning, preparation, and tactics to raid them, as they’re not defended by siege fortifications and ranged weapons.
Features and overhauled core gameplay loops that will allow significantly more interesting gameplay for solo players and small groups:

Automatons and remote weapons that allow solo players to use weapons while driving their walker will make it possible to engage in combat without a large clan to man the weapons in a fight.
PvE maps that allow players to take risks and play at their own pace – Addition of PvE-only maps, while keeping PvP maps as an option that provides significant rewards for the most bloodlusting players.

Completely overhauled travel system will impact PvP and exploring in search of better resources – Encourages players to take risks by leaving their bases to explore other maps whenever they need unique resources found only elsewhere on a giant World Map.
New siege weapon types, including the Stingers and heavy-hitting Rokker – Players will be able to use many new weapons to achieve their goals in combat, both PvE and PvP.

SEGA has released new information for Persona 5 Tactica, including the game’s setting, the tyrant Marie, and three key characters from the game.

A special program called Nyahoo News is introduced where Morgana from the Persona 5 series delivers the latest scoop on all things Persona. In the first volume, the Plot and Setting of Persona 5 Tactica were introduced. After wandering into a bizarre realm, the Phantom Thieves were attacked by a military group named Legionnaires. It’s there where we’re introduced to the tyrant Marie who brainwashed everyone aside from Joker and Morgana.

The duo were then later saved by Erina, the leader of the Rebel Corps and discovered that the world they’re in is known as the Kingdoms. After fending off Marie’s pursuit, Erina takes Joker and Morgana to the Rebel Corps hideout, which surprisingly looks exactly like Leblanc.

After making a deal to help the Rebel Corps, Joker and Morgana head out to rescue the remaining Thieves. Reaching the prison, they find a man named Toshiro Kasukabe who’s a politician in the real world but has no recollection as how he ended up in this realm.
Despite their misgivings, Joker and his allies decide to team up with Toshiro for the time being, only to later receive an urgent report that Marie has found her groom.
Key Characters

A young member of parliament who was rumoured to become the next prime minister. Toshinori is rescued by the Phantom Thieves after becoming trapped in the bizarre realm, and has agreed to work together.

Skullgirls Publisher Cutting Ties With Lab Zero

It’s been a tumultuous year for Skullgirls fans. The community started with good press about pushing for rollback netcode. After that, Skullgirls was to be one of the main games at Evo Online, before its cancellation.

Then, incidents of inappropriate behavior by Mike “MikeZ” Zaimont threw the game into the spotlight again. Reports surfaced of inappropriate behavior by Zaimont.  Zaimont is the studio head for Lab Zero Games, developer of Skullgirls. He’s also the most public-facing member of the game’s staff. After the allegations surfaced, Lab Zero was silent

Earlier this morning, several of the staff at Lab Zero Games announced their resignation from the studio, following Zaimont’s refusal to resign.
Now, Skullgirls Publisher Autumn Games has released a joint statement along with mobile developer Hidden Variable. In the statement, they announced that they would be cutting ties with Lab Zero Games, effective immediately.

An official statement from Hidden Variable and Autumn regarding Lab Zero Games and the future of Skullgirls. pic.twitter.com/4qeoN9fgRj
— Skullgirls Mobile (@sgmobile) August 25, 2020

Standing With The Employees
“Autumn Games and Hidden Variable Studios fully support those employees who have chosen to stand by their principles and leave in light of that behavior, and we find their allegations to be credible. As such, effective immediately, we will no longer be working with Mike Zaimont or Lab Zero Games”, they said via a tweet.
Hidden Variable clarified that they haven’t worked with Lab Zero games, and reassured fans that publisher Autumn Games still held the IP for Skullgirls.
The statement clarifies that Autumn Games’ support of the employees who left Lab Zero is more than just symbolic, as they intend to work with them. Strangely enough, they took this opportunity to announce that Skullgirls: 2nd Encore would be receiving DLC in the form of a new fighter, Annie in 2021. This is the first official mention that the character would also be coming to 2nd Encore, instead of just the mobile game as was previously announced.
“We hope this can serve as a fresh start for the next phase of Skullgirls development, unburdened by the events of the past” they said.
Zaimont has not commented on the developments, nor has Lab Zero Games released a statement on the matter.

Maid Rimuru is here – should you pull for the best girl in Slime ISEKAI Memories?

Christmas came early as Maid Rimuru is finally a playable character in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories. While his looks are easily 10/10, we’ll analyse [Master of Maids] Rimuru Tempest to see if he’s worth pulling for in terms of gameplay.

Related Posts

[Master of Maids] Rimuru Tempest is a wind-element physical attacker who also comes with a single-target ultimate, which is great. In terms of stats, he is amongst the tankiest characters in the game, sharing a similar HP and DEF statline with Treyni and Water Rimuru.
His skills similarly reflect his tanky nature. His first skill is 3-turn long DEF and Max HP buff, while his second skill increases guard power while increasing Soul of Skills damage.

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Unfortunately, the current PvE content in the game makes [Master of Maids] Rimuru Tempest rather pointless. His first skill requires a healer to have full effect as it only raises your Max HP, but doesn’t restore it. If your character’s HP was at 100%/100% before the buff, it will be 100%/130% after it. Not only that, you’ll hardly ever need a 3-turn long DEF buff. Many of the other characters’ single turn DEF buff can already do the job.
Similarly, the second skill only increases guard power (how much damage is reduced), but not guard rate, meaning that it needs to be paired with something like Milim and Shuna’s Divine Protection to be useful. Sadly, in terms of gameplay, [Master of Maids] Rimuru Tempest is one of the least useful 5★ characters to date. As such, we don’t recommend pulling for him in terms of meta.
Arguably, the greatest benefit for pulling Maid Rimuru is being able to walk around town in a maid outfit. If that thought makes you happy, then by all means—pull him.

THE GAME
Upgrades can only be made to Rare and above items, requiring both salvage material from lower rarity items and Rare and above items. Fortunately, the auto pick-up lets you just grab them all provided you have the space. Should you get full up inside Rifts, a Blacksmith will helpfully spawn once you’ve completed it, only offering salvaging services.

I should have unlocked the Battle Pass feature since I could start getting points towards it, but I couldn’t actually open it up to see what rewards I could get for the season, nor was there the premium pass available to purchase in the shop. The paid track is supposed to give materials and exclusive cosmetics, but without being able to actually check it, I couldn’t “compare” the two tracks.

Random events can occur, like one where I had to kill a number of enemies within a certain area. It will inform you should you begin to stray too far from said event area. Apart from that, you may encounter Hidden Lairs, which are mini dungeons you can invite party members to. Within them lies a Lair Guardian, as well as smaller events for more rewards.

While I did not try to form a Clan, I did try establishing a Warband to see what it’s like. 8 players can join one and it’s really easy to set up. Others may choose to apply to join your Warband, message you first or create a post advertising your own. Warband members have a 10% increased chance of items dropping from enemies, and challenge Helliquary bosses for ranking rewards. You can also check any given Warband’s Helliquary ranking from their postings.

A Warband has a Storage Box. Members can receive Sealed Warband Chests when partying together, with the Warband Steward able to identify its contents as Legendary Items and Set Items that will be stashed. Each Warband member can borrow One item from the stash.

Anecdotally speaking, “Rare” items seem to drop fairly frequently. Without being level 30, I could kit myself out quite well with nice high item score gear, and a modest selection of gems to socket. In a Warband party, this probability can only go up, I assume.

The Bestiary updates its pages when you get Monster Essence drops, which aren’t guaranteed. If you’re going to 100% those pages, you’re going to need to farm like crazy.

THE MONETIZATION
As a mobile – later, PC – free to play title, how the lights are kept on will certainly be a concern. Here, I can at least show you the regional prices and what the currency is for.

First of, we have bundles. A free daily bundle gets you things like equipment upgrade materials, with other paid packs. The Beginner’s Pack, for instance, gives 60 Eternal Orbs and one cosmetic item.

Crests are used to modify Elder Rifts. Legendary Crests will guarantee a Legendary Gem drop on completion of said rift. 1 is priced at 160 Eternal Orbs, 10 at 1600 Eternal Orbs, so no apparent discount.

Cosmetics are just that, skins you can throw on top of your existing armour. Prices range from 1000 Eternal Orbs to 1650 for “Collector” sets. While I didn’t perceive any difference myself, it would appear that these cosmetics can later apply to other details such as your portal effects.

The Boon of Plenty service is basically a typical monthly pass, offering additional rewards for up to 90 days should you stack them up at once.

Eternal Orbs are purchasable in various quantities, from 60 to 6000 (with a 1200 / 20% extra). Eternal Orbs can then be used to purchase Platinum. Platinum is used in the Market and specialty vendors.

Materials purchasable with Eternal Orbs are “reforge stones”, used to reforge bonus attributes of a certain family. Random outcomes, namely that of bonus attributes and stats within range, have equal probability.

                                        Damage to elite enemies increased ( 3 - 6% )

                                        Damage done by your summons increased ( 2 - 4% )

                                        Damage taken by your summons increased ( 2 - 4% )

IN CONCLUSION
I would still definitely rather play Diablo Immortal on a PC now that is an option, but it’s not like the mobile experience is terrible. It’s standard controls all things considered, so if you’ve played one action oriented game on mobile, it should be pretty easy to get used to. More so if you snap on a controller accessory if you have one.

With regards to the monetization, I’m pretty jaded from my share of mobile games, so I expected this much. I do have my concerns about the reforge stones; sure, the bonuses may be tiny, but being able to reroll for the best possible percentage comes down to deep wallets, does it not? I would hate to see PVP be overshadowed by mere fractions.
In any case, let the gates of hell open. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Versus Mode: Players can join up with 5 friends in any career event and see who’s the very best.
Tricks Battle: Players will compete in 6v6 matchups and try to land as many tricks as possible on the various modules to capture them and earn points. The team with the highest score wins.
Free for All: In this mode, players can challenge up to 11 opponents and show them how it’s done through a select playlist of events.

Shadowverse and Uma Musume collaboration kicks off soon

Unsurprisingly, Shadowverse will be having a Uma Musume collaboration in the coming week. Pretty much most, if not all, of Cygames associated properties have made their appearances in their card game, so this was a matter of time. (Dragalia Lost when, Nintendo?)

The associated event portal for the Shadowverse and Uma Musume collab can be found here. Much like the ones before them, the girls will be available as paid leader skins, with Special Week representing Dragoncraft and Silence Suzuka representing Forestcraft. The site also indicates other characters making their appearances for the rest of the classes to be revealed on time. Each leader will have card sleeves, flairs, and emblems as well.

They will be available with the coming v3.7.0 update on 24 March 2022 PT, which is also when the game’s next card expansion, Edge of Paradise, launches. The other collaborations have usually included event missions for alternate card art, or “Quest” mode that could be puzzles or just fighting against AI played decks for rewards. A new expansion launch also typically comes with more free card packs if you decide to try out the rotation format.
If you’d just like to immerse yourself entirely in a Cygames property ecosystem, go ahead and dip your toes in this.
