Cooking Mama: Cookstar publisher fires back, says it was fully within their rights to release game

GDU3v0p.png

The bizarre chain of events revolving around Cooking Mama: Cookstar continues to play out. The latest update to the story sees Planet Entertainment, the game's publisher, respond to the press release made earlier this week by Cooking Mama IP holder Office Create. According to Office Create, Planet Entertainment no longer has the right to sell copies of Cookstar, but it looks like the latter disagrees. According to Planet, they were "fully within its rights to publish Cooking Mama Cookstar", continuing to claim that there is no active litigation or court ruling that prevents the company from publishing and by extension, selling copies of the game. They also state that the game has had "overwhelming positive response", and wish Office Create well. Whether or not we'll see more happen in the ongoing Cooking Mama drama, remains to be seen.

It's down to this... these are dark days when we are talking about titles such as Cooking Mamma as if it were worthy video game news.

And now back to Half-Life...
News doesn't care if you don't like a franchise or not lol. You've made the same commentary before, as if everything going on in the gaming industry is so uninteresting except for AAA shooters. Cooking Mama's existence as a niche series doesn't take away from the fact that there's possible illegal publishing of a video game and the odd back and forth involving this game's rumored blockchain miner drama, it being taken off sale for no reason, it coming back on sale, Office Create possibly calling in a favor to Nintendo to have it pulled from sale on the eShop, and Planet Entertainment's broken english mess of a response. To many, that's ridiculous and interesting enough for them. I'm sorry an entire industry of entertainment doesn't cater perfectly to your desires.

Watch my mom walk in here and sue both Office Create and Planet Entertainment, for releasing and developing a game franchise copying her personal image, likeness and behavior without her consent..

She's the real cooking mama. And boy do I miss her cooking.

What about the crypto miner packed into it that violates the TOS with Nintendo? Were they within their rights to release it in that state too? Good god.
