Monster Energy files lawsuit against indie game over title Monster EnergyMonster Energy has filed a lawsuit against the indie game Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals. This time, the drink company claimed the developer Glowstick Entertainment broke copyright with the horror game\u2019s title. Coca-Cola\u2019s Monster Energy has chosen its next target \u2013 the 2020 multiplayer horror title Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals. The leading figure in energy drinks has demanded Glowstick Entertainment change the game\u2019s title due to the word \u201cmonster\u201d in the name. Previously, Monster Energy forced Ubisoft\u2019s Gods and Monsters to alter its title to Immortals Fenyx Rising. The company has expanded its settlement terms by preventing Glowstick Entertainment from ever using a green & white logo on a black background. Glowstick Entertainment cannot use green & white logos because of Monster Energy\u2019s lawsuit Glowstick Entertainment founder Vincent Livings went into depth about Monster Energy\u2019s lawsuit on Twitter. In the detailed thread, Livings discussed how the company was coming after them for their game\u2019s title being \u201cconfusingly similar\u201d to the energy drink. The CEO also encouraged gamers to refrain from purchasing Monster\u2019s products. Additionally, Livings posted an official document from Monster Energy that explained their lawsuit\u2019s terms. As seen in the image, Monster is pushing to prohibit the word \u201cmonster\u201d in the game\u2019s name, claw-like designs, or green\/black imagery. Glowstick Entertainment also won\u2019t be able to use the words \u201cbeast\u201d or \u201cunleash.\u201d Reposting these terms from Monster Energy since journalists are referencing this thread. pic.twitter.com\/AUD1sT2q9H \u2014 Vincent Livings (@VincentLivings) April 4, 2023 Livings plans to fight Monster Energy in court. \u201cDishonest companies like Monster Energy depend on doing their bullying in secret, while presenting a clean image to their base (athletes & gamers),\u201d he said. \u201cShowing their true face publicly is the only real way to stop them.\u201d Monster Energy\u2019s past legal battles include suing an Ohio restaurant for containing the word \u201cmonster\u201d on its sign, a Georgia welder for using a similar \u201cM\u201d logo, and a man\u2019s aquarium hobby forum called MonsterFishKeepers. It\u2019s unclear how Glowstick Entertainment will fare in court with such an energy drink giant like Monster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
