LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

EA Files Lawsuit Against EA

Posted on Wednesday, October 5 @ 07:54:55 Eastern by



Mega publisher Electronic Arts, otherwise known as EA, is suing Florida-based fitness supply company, Energy Armor, also otherwise known as EA, for having a logo too similar to their own. EA is seeking for all materials featuring the logo to be destroyed and for Energy Armor to pay EA all profits generated while using the logo -- which is likely all of their profits, ever.

Normally, we laugh at the ridiculousness of any lawsuits publishers file, but we have to agree with EA on this one. The logo looks far too similar. Especially with EA being a company with a large portfolio of sports and fitness-related products.

Having never heard of Energy Armor before, I decided to Google them. But before I could finish typing, Google offered up the below auto-completions. 



Methinks that any operating company that comes up with the word "scam" in Google search before you can finish typing their name... should burn in hell. Sue away, EA. Sue away.

    I don't even think they look that similar. The only similarity is that the E is italicized, but other than that... I mean there are only so many ways you can draw two letters.

    the logos are far too similar. Yes, there are only so many ways you can draw two letters, but it looks like the concept artist for Energy Armor looked at Electronic Arts' logo and just added a lightning bolt. This is the first lawsuit in a while I'm behind

    They sell those bracelets made from exotic materials that "give your body misterious ancient energy thus making you (insert any of the following: harder, better, faster, stronger)"

    So yeah I hope they go bankrupt after this.

    So they are getting sued for the logo and not the false advertisement for unfounded claims about using the product? Cool. I guess.

    "You're going to travel to Cheydinhal, and find out what sort of imposter is trying to besmirch my good name. And you're going to tell him... *hic*... You're going to tell him I am quite capable of besmirching my good name on my own. He should cease and desist immediatley. There's fifty gold pieces in it for you, friend... right then. Off you go."

    Give him a break. He's sick and tired, tired and sick...and perhaps a little drunk.
