Doujin fans are quaking at the wrath of Disney, which has just shut down a free doujin game for daring to include a likeness of Mickey Mouse, demanding ¥6,000,000 in compensation for good measure.
Hanako features a parody retro RPG-style segment in which Mickey Mouse makes an appearance as a monster.
Disney evidently did not see the funny side of this, and demanded they cease development of the title and pay ¥6,000,000 in damages.
The developers, AmoRico, promptly complied:
Thank you very much for playing Visual Novel Hanako
Due to a major and intricate reasons, we were unavoidably close our site and stop the development of our game.
From today, year 2012 January 26, Were closing Hanako Official Site for indefinite period.
We appreciate the players whom supported us. Thank you very much.
Now if only Miyazaki had the lawyers to run Disney into the ground for their xerox of Laputa: Castle In The Sky in the form of the hideous Atlantis. :heh:
