Is they finally hired a lawyer and the lawyer start to be as a lawyer or something? i don't know why will they need to do it in this way.

I wonder if they are going after BGS for Wasteland Workshop or if it's just limited to indie guys who can't afford a court battle.

Ww isnt an ip tho.

If they trademarked "Wasteland" BGS is making millions with WW and in the same genre of game.

Fallout and wasteland are two already estblished ip whereas alien wasteland is a new ip. I guess thats the difference. Im not picking sides by the way. Im just trying to figure out the logic behind this.

I agree I'm not trying to pick a side, I just hope if they are going to go after people for using Wasteland BGS will be on that list.

I know this is done for the larger purpose of ensuring there won't be a bunch of games (many of them that are pretty bad and are cash grabs) that have a similar name that people may confuse for the the particular IP being defended.

I think they didn't go after Beth because the word "wasteland" has been deeply associated with Fallout since its inception.
