11/9/2022 0 Comments Praey for the gods cheats![]() It's such a petty matter, considering that the logo is staying the same and Prey for the Gods has nothing to do with Prey. Yup, the logo still reads Prey for the Gods, with the beautiful image of a woman kneeling and praying in place of the “e.” Or ae depending on who you ask now. Easier to search than Præy for the Gods, but still a silly change considering they got to keep their logo. No Matter did what they thought was best for them by changing their game's name to Praey for the Gods. If big companies like Microsoft can end up losing some trademark battles, it's no wonder that small studios are scared off. ![]() The former had to change Skydrive to Onedrive (the more you know), and the latter had to give up their “cloud-like” logo. Two companies that faced Sky that weren't so lucky were giant Microsoft and Skype. The British corporation has decided multiple times that they have sole rights to the use of the word “sky.” But many others disagreed with that statement, including the court system that ultimately decided No Man's Sky had nothing to do with telecommunications or broadcasting. That is the quiet three year “secret stupid legal nonsense” (according to Hello Games managing director Sean Murray) that No Man's Sky developers went through with Sky broadcasting. No Man's Sky is a well-known name at this point for various reasons, but one in particular reason is possibly lesser known. Had No Matter contested Bethesda, they could have been locked into a court battle that could have lasted years. Did I mention that No Matter Studios is made up of three people? Yeah, this is a tiny ( tiny) studio that just couldn't and didn't want to deal with the might of a giant corporation like Bethesda. When faced with a potentially lengthy and incredibly costly lawsuit, tiny studio No Matter decided they would acquiesce Bethesda's request. Unfortunately, that's how trademark law works.” If we didn't oppose the mark, we risk losing our Prey trademark and that isn't acceptable. There is a related quote from Bethesda making its rounds on the Internet saying, “We really didn't have much of a choice. So according to Bethesda, their legal action towards No Matter and Prey for the Gods was just a final effort to protect their trademark. ![]() ![]() They also said they had tried to contact them about it multiple times since then. According to Bethesda, they reached out to No Matter as early as 2015 about the use of the word “Prey” in their game. Most people are not going to do a Google search to do another Google search.īecause of this knowledge, No Matter changed their original working title to Prey for the Gods. This sort of thing is fun for me (weirdly enough) so it doesn't bother me to the point where I wouldn't search for the game. Whenever I have to type a strange character into a search engine, I generally have to search for that character first, copy it, and then paste it into the word I was originally searching. Probably the most interesting tidbit of news to come out of this whole process is the fact that Bethesda and Zenimax not only opposed No Matter's use of the word “Prey” in their game title, they also contested “præy.” The game was actually originally going to be called Præy for the Gods, but No Matter realized it would be difficult enough for people to type in the “æ” character that it would hurt their search results. Or should I say Praey for the Gods? Technically it's the latter now, since Bethesda (and owner Zenimax) contested indie game developer No Matter on their trademark. There is a lot of heat going around lately focused on Bethesda, Prey, and the much lesser known Prey for the Gods. ![]()
