MMORPG Producer ROM: Remember of Majesty gave a detailed commentary on the lawsuit by NCSOFT. Let us remind you that on February 22, NCSOFT filed a lawsuit regarding plagiarism of Lineage W and unfair competition on the part of the developer Red Lab Games and publisher Kakao Games.
According to the producer, Red Lab Games conducted legal advice on this issue in advance and received an answer that the user interface design in the game is not subject to copyright. And the alleged violation falls under the criteria of “general game design,” which has long been used in games around the world.
Red Lab Games considers NCSOFT’s lawsuit and widespread media coverage of this situation to be interference in the company’s affairs and an attempt to disrupt the launch and maintenance ROM: Remember of Majesty. In addition, this situation arose a few days before the release and caused worries and fears among players awaiting the start of the project. Therefore, the developers are considering the possibility of a legal response, even a criminal case for attempted business interruption.
