“Any type of logo design that has a beast design font style will certainly be deemed confusingly similar to Monster Energy’s logo. It demands that we never ever make use of one for any kind of future games. This indicates they can demand that we transform Dark Deceptiveness’s logo design also. It can be applied broadly.” By accepting these terms, Dark Deceptiveness: Monsters & Mortals will certainly never ever obtain a sequel with words “Beast” in it.
