PHG Anniversary Update & Predator Legal Issues

I think once may hits and april update is not our, an explain is expected even with legal limitations

I think it is still debatable what new content means.
Are new Predator versions new content? Most likely.
Are existing Predators/Characters from other works new content? I’d say this is debatable.
Are bugfixes new content? Definitely not.
Is balancing new content? Definitely not.
Are new Maps new content? Most likely, but still debatable.
Are new Game Modes for the existing Maps new content? Debatable IMHO.

So I guess if it’s the case that we will receive an update AND Illfonic is involved in this legal stuff, what everybody assumes, but nobody 100% knows, we will most likely only see adjustments to the current gameplay and bugfixes.

Yea see this is my point. If they were having all this trouble or issues dealing with the case problem why talk about all this weekend of newness and try to create hype. Based on the content passed April 17th effect they would’ve known if that affected them. If things just spawned on them sporraticaly and then that alone warrants a statement towards content delay and not just the stream. Cuz unless the update drops in the next 3 days (which I doubt), it no longer is in April thus goes against when they said the next update will be.

I’m still trying to understand this, but…
Are you saying that on 4/17, the rights holder banned the development of new content using existing IP, and PHG may have clashed with that?

Oh my god… We thought it wouldn’t be a problem, but then at the last minute, we got stopped…

Yes, there is a legal dispute about the rights and seemingly PHG is affected

After all, which is the correct X-day, 5/17 or 5/27?

5/27 is correct. 5/17 is resident evil

oh sry.
I didn’t read the text properly.

Its ok, we dont want any confusion.

This is truešŸ’ÆšŸ”„

It’s got to be due to the lawsuit. Past updates prove that IllFonic has no problem putting out content that is bugged or even causes consistent crashing. If the update is delayed, I’d bet it’s 99% likely that the court injunction order is what is stopping them.

This option is very likely and such thoughts are also fueled by the sudden cancellation of the stream without explaining the reasons, at least briefly. Apparently there is no point in waiting for the update this week. Now only the court’s decision will shed light on the fate of the project.

Exactly.

This games fate was sealed as soon as illfonic put it on paper

Arnie you need to reboot and GTFO.

They said that they are welcome wiring on a new stream date and will announce it. I think we will know more on may 1, 2021

Utill then, ā€˜clown down before the one you serve, you’re going to get what you deserve’

Reboot what?

The update is probably going to be released on the first week of May.

How do you figure with all that has been said so far concering the legal issues?
