What happened to Mike sueing the new Skullgirls owners

[Dawning Neap]

What do you guys think would happen if he gets back skullgirls ownership?

[Pyro3000]

Probably a lot of rollback, visually, and a few people leaving the company.

We would probably see the mobile game go through some turmoil as he fights with the mobile devs and the Korean company.

It would be cool to see the non-mobile game rollback, but I really really don't think Mike is the guy that should be running a company.

The lawsuit is still ongoing. But even if he wins, which is kinda unlikely, he would receive monetary damages, not the IP.

Also there are no 'new owners', the IP was always owned by Autumn Games from the start. Development is now being handled by Hidden Variable and Future Club, but ownership rights never changed hands, which is why this lawsuit would not affect that.

Also, Mike would've probably been fine with the update. He was the one who first "censored" the game, after all, and he expressed some of the same "woke" sentiments that the devs did in their explanation for the update.

Honestly, he would probably run it back out of spite.

He didn't seem to be in good terms with the team after all.

More than likely this is the case. Also, I would imagine that it would be hard for Mike to do anything without Ahad on board as well.

More than likely, they're both tired of the whole hullabaloo as well and want nothing to do with the franchise any more. It's a dark chapter in their past, and they probably don't want to get back to it.

Guys. Understand this:
Mike Z case was never about Skullgirls IP.
Mike never owned the SG IP.
Autumn Games has owned the SG IP since it became a video game.
Whether Mike Z wins or loses, it'll have no effect on the Skullgirls IP.

Mike Z doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that does things because of spite.
Mike has a new job with new projects. Probably already forgot about Skullgirls the game. But not his lawsuit of course.

Just like Alex and Peter already moved on.

There's something to think about.

Mike, Alex and Peter have moved on.

Why can't other people, who haven't even been involved in the development of the game? There are a LOT of other games to play on Steam. No point in obsessing over this one....

We're talking about the hypothetical situation of Mike Z getting the ip back.

And thinking that Mike wouldn't be petty is pretty funny all things considered.

[Missingno.]

That isn't a situation that is even possible to happen.

Yeah, that's why it's only hypothetical.

Read the main post.

The OP was asking about the lawsuit, misunderstanding what the suit is about.

"What do you guys think would happen if he gets back skullgirls ownership?"

Even Tan started by explaining what would happen, saying he would be fine with it, which I disagree due to the state of their relationship.

They've not issued refunds and thus still have our money like the conartists that they are.

[Lysamus]

I don't believe Mike is going to refund you either, even if he wins his lawsuit.

If he undoes the fumble of the censorship and thus makes that old promise true again, I won't ask.
