Konami plays Lawsuitmania 2 LEGAL TROOPERS

Story short: Konami is suing Pentavision over the DJ MAX series.

And it just HAD to come at the right time:
- Today is Christmas Eve, so I hope Konami's legal staff gets shit tons of coal
- DJ MAX Black Square just came out, and Technika is on location test at several locations in California
- DJ MAX Online is making a comeback with DJ MAX Trilogy

How are you surprised? DJ Max is a blatant rip-off (it may be a good rip-off) of Beatmania... And if its halfway successful you know Konami is going to sue... Its been done many a time already(ITG, GH, RB and now this)... Konami wants their cut and do you blame them?

Its all a trap set up by Konami... By not releasing quality versions of Guitar Freaks, Drum Mania and Beatmania in the US they are setting up other companies to come out with "copies" of them... Konami then sues them and gets a piece of the action without lifting a finger (except to call their lawyers)...

(before anyone jumps to conclusions i was joking in that last paragraph)

Actually DJ MAX is a blatant rip-off of EZ2DJ, which shares some of the same musicians and I think developers. So yeah it's retarded, but slightly warranted.
