Dino Patti, co-founder of the game studio Playdead, has publicly accused his fellow co-founder of bullying and has faced legal threats regarding the use of company materials. Playdead has confirmed that it submitted demands to Patti concerning unauthorized use of its intellectual property, emphasizing its commitment to protecting its trademarks and copyrights. The dispute escalated when it was revealed that Patti is demanding $73,000 for allegedly using a copyright-protected image on LinkedIn. This public feud follows a broader trend in the gaming industry, where disputes between co-founders have gained attention, including a recent case involving a writer from Disco Elysium who faced legal action over his own game project.
