Filing a false DMCA claim costs nothing, requires no proof, and can destroy an indie game's launch in minutes. Fighting back can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks (if you can afford it at all).
Copyright is copyright. DMCA is a good thing that protects creators IP., revenue and usage. and you can absolutely appeal a wrongful DMCA takedown. It’s happened to me. Was easily resolved.
it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.
Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.

Please welcome remakes of the Tomb Raider, Hitman & Legacy of Kain. Maybe there will be a good thing from SE buying Eidos, maybe they can get one of the studios to do the localization for there games and the time it takes for the games to be released in US & EU is lessened.
We are Square Enix. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
This is a Square Enix effort to break further into the Euro and North American market from a publishing and development standpoint. Some really good franchises here. I hope Squenix brings quality into these franchises but recent efforts like Last Remnant and infinite undiscovery make me a bit weary.
Is that what we call em now?
Ideas?
Too bad really. Eidos could have died a quick honorable death, now it's going to be slow and painful...
