    When asked if he was sure that Albion couldn’t be copyrighted due to its historical context, he replied: “I don’t know if I’m honest, I don’t really know… I hope so. I mean you would think that the responsible person I should be, I would’ve spent the last six months in lawyers’ offices…”

    Bold strategy, Cotton.

    Ugh. I kind of wish you would just go gracefully into the background Peter.

    So. He is about to be sued by Microsoft I suppose. Very bold of you to admit that it isn’t set in generic Albion but Albion the same universe that Fable uses. Those are two very different statements.

      He passed gracefully 2 or 3 “games” ago. The quotation marks, because they were basically abandoned for a new gimmick, without delivering.

        Godus had real promise, I played the early release. Absolutely never delivered on what it promised, implicitly or explicitly, though.

      Brb, making a sequel to Sonic & The Black Knight and officially licensing it.

      What? Sega can’t copyright Camelot!

      Further, just because a name like that came be “copyrighted” doesn’t mean the rest of the game isn’t lmao.

      If I made Nuclear D.C., a post apocalyptic game set it the Fallout universe in Washington D.C. as a followup to Fallout 3, I wouldn’t magically be okay just because it’s set in a “real” place.

    Checks Wikipedia…

    Albion is an alternative name for Great Britain.

    Okay? Why don’t we just change the names of the towns and their locations on the map? Problem fixed!

    Edit: Spacing.
