Koei Tecmo Cracks Down on Illegal Videos Made With Modded Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation

Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation opened many modding opportunities, but Koei Tecmo isn't too happy about certain uses of its IP.

[SDuck]

I mean, at this point Koei should be selling those DVDs themselves!

[Mr Pumblechook]

Surely any videos made are technically artistic expression? People are allowed to make drawings of companies' characters, just look at Deviant Art.

[SDuck]

you're not allowed to sell it since they're copyrighted properties. Stuff from Patreon slips by since those are donations to the artist, not purchases of the art

[moriarty1889]

exactly.

[drizzom]

Who knows? Maybe thats the plan.

[ANIALATOR136]

I feel like they knew this would happen

[Outlawzz]

Lmao you can't make this up. Great times indeed

[anast]

I always thought that was the underlying point to these games.

If your going to do that might as well sell the DVD's with bitcoin while using the dark web to host your sales. This would be the only way to get around any company, good luck trying to find them on the dark web LOL. There is so much people can do on the dark web, like game mods, remakes, etc I mean come on lol. If they did it that way we all would have so many game remakes from fans that no company would even bother to take down because it would be next to impossible and would cost so much $$. If illegal guns and drugs are still up there for sale what makes you think game mods/remakes would be taken down LMAO.

Honestly at this point it's basically softcore porn anyway, they should just embrace it.

[Rachel_Alucard]

It's not the mods, it's the fact he was selling videos of it. They would've curbed it years ago when DOA5 came out if they were really bothered by it.

[Knightofelemia]

Wonder if the DVD's will become a collectors item?

[Nuvem]

Don't you dare mess with my "leisure time" Koei!!!
