  That has to be the most flimsy lawsuit I’ve ever heard. Any lawyer that can win with that case is a freaking genius.

    Surely there must be a Naughty Bunny somewhere that could shoot that right back at them? Maybe not in video game trademarks.

  I’d understand if it wasn’t a game developer, but this looks like a clear case of piggybacking.
