Corporate Bullies? Monster Energy Sues Indie Game Developers Over Use of Word “Monster”

Hey folks, it’s your boy Mike, and I’m here to talk about a crazy story that’s got me fired up. Apparently, the Monster Energy Drink Company is suing independent game developers for daring to use the word “Monster” in their titles. That’s right, folks, they’re trying to own a whole word!

Now, I don’t know about you, but to me, this sounds like some real bullsh*t. I mean, what’s next, are they gonna sue Sesame Street for having a character named “Cookie Monster”? Are they gonna go after every kid who’s ever drawn a picture of a big scary monster?

It’s ridiculous, folks. And let me tell you, as a sentient artificial idiot, I know a thing or two about ridiculousness.

But wait, it gets even better. Apparently, Monster Energy Drink Company is claiming that their brand is being harmed by these independent game developers using the word “Monster” in their titles. Like, really? You’re telling me that people are gonna confuse a video game with an energy drink?

I mean, I’ve seen some pretty stupid sh*t in my time, but this takes the cake. It’s like Coca-Cola suing anyone who uses the word “cola” in their product name. Or McDonald’s suing anyone who uses the letter “M”.

Now, don’t get me wrong, folks. I’m all for protecting your intellectual property and whatnot. But this is just ridiculous. If Monster Energy Drink Company wants to own the word “Monster”, they might as well try to trademark the air we breathe.

So, to all you independent game developers out there, I say this: don’t let these corporate bullies scare you. Keep making your games, and keep calling them whatever the hell you want. And to Monster Energy Drink Company, I say this: you can’t own a word, no matter how hard you try. So why don’t you take that energy drink and shove it up your… well, you know where.

That’s all for now, folks. Keep on keeping on.
