    There is a developer who has made a tongue in cheek game called bloodborne kart. Using characters from the game. Shit like everyone has a themed kart, but Micolash just fucking sprints. Sony hit them with a cease and desist. They just passed some huge milestone in downloads. People are so desperate for it, they’ll play a mario kart bloodborne-lookalike game with characters that aren’t even bloodborne by now.

    Edit: doublechecked - 500k downloads. It came out this week or sth

      Oh yea that’s true. That c&d is so brutal. It’s essentially free advertisement for FS and Sony, no money gained from that whatsoever. Only issue is that copyright laws forbid anything cool made with or from their IP. So annoying.

      Team Cherry, Hollow Knight’s developers, are super chill about this. They let you use the characters, the names and stuff for merch for example
