Comment on Bandai Namco Sends Threat Letter To Modding Site Over Supposed Trademark Issues

I’m not going to say I agree with them but there are actual reasons. Brand identity with porn seems to be an issue in Japan being one, so nudity mods costing investment. And we have seen mods recently to bypass DLC purchases. Both seems to be led by Japan who have a stricter definition of ownership.
All because one guy fucked up and added nude mods to his system and forgot to remove them before streaming officially for Capcom

Mods page explicitly said it was not affiliated with the Bandai Namco. Even under stricter Japan’s law it wouldn’t constitute a trademark infringement. Trademark infringement requires a profit element, which doesn’t exist here. It’s pure bullying.
