I was wondering what the update was. This is hilarious, I love it.

For those who don't know the context, Steamboat Willie was published in 1928. Per U.S. copyright law, it entered public domain today, January 1, 2024.

The developer added some context here: https://www.indiedb.com/games/the-caribbean-sail/news/steamboat-willie-new-playable-character/

Thats PERFECTION !!! Now we need to find a way to manipulate time-space compression so we can get Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa.
Meanwhile, can we have a Johnny "DEEP" pixeled character? Everyone will love him.

This is amazing and also makes me sad thinking about how much manipulation Disney has done to copyright law through their lobbying.

I am not the "this made me lol" type of person, but seeing this pop up when I opened Steam actually did make me laugh and say "Brilliant!" out loud.

Fun isn't something one considers when sailing the Caribbean. But this... does put a smile on my face.
