    Anyone know the legal ramifications...

    ...for making a game (using IG Maker, as an example), submitting it to a fairly large distribution channel (the Xbox 360, as an example), and using thinly-veiled references to real people and real circumstances/scenarios in a comedic/parody form?


    Not talking defamation, but moreso parody. Looked briefly at the list of "prohibited content" for XNA, and did not see any mention of anything like this.


    I mean, Dave and Nix made Bush's Cocaine Quest, but obviously, the Pavilion is a MUCH smaller distribution channel than XBLA.

    look up the XBL game "Angry Barry".

    there are no ramifications.

      i love the indie games for the 360, really anyone can make a game and get it out there. that imadeagamewithzombiesinit proved that i guess. lots of off the wall stuff too.

      Thank you Ωbright for the sig fix!
      Card Three is released! You can find it here!

        South Park hasn't successfully been sued yet so there you go. As long as you're not stating things as fact (defamation of character) then you're good.
