Is it really that easy? To create a game series with a super generic word and then just "claim" it forever?
They would start this shit the second I decide to go buy the Banner Saga. Now I'm gonna buy it harder.
pieces of shit ..they forgot to sue sue Sony for God of war saga dip shits....
Besides the personal feelings that they just don't DESERVE it, I think it's a losing battle.
This is probably the last place I'd expect a League of Gentleman reference, bravo
I get the feeling if they tried, Hasbro could crush them easily.If these fuckers touch Candy Land, the gloves come off.
Two years ago, the three of us at Stoic set out to make an epic viking game: The Banner Saga. We did, and people loved it, so we’re making another one. We won’t make a viking saga without the word Saga, and we don’t appreciate anyone telling us we can’t.
King.com claims they’re not attempting to prevent us from using The Banner Saga, and yet their legal opposition to our trademark filing remains.
We’re humbled by the outpouring of support and honored to have others stand with us for the right to their own Saga. We just want to make great games.

Oh shit, I got relevant.
Hey guys, be on the lookout for my upcoming new game Dandy Rush Saga.
It's a runner game where you play an English fop who mustn't be late for tea.

It's ironic that King.com is concerned about intellectual property when they so blatantly copied our game Scamperghost with their game "Pac-Avoid" in late 2009. In fact, using "Pac" from Namco's Pac-Man is exactly the same thing they're trying to stop people from doing with their "Candy" trademark!
We were in talks with Lars Jörnow at King.com to license our Scamperghost game. Before the deal was closed (and certainly before any contracts were signed) MaxGames.com made a better offer so we thanked King for considering our game and politely ended our negotiations.
King.com (giant company) retaliated against us (two young indie devs) by quickly making a direct clone of our game and almost released it before us! We only got ours out sooner because a friend close with the company contacted us privately to warn us in advance...
But it was worse than just "sponsorship of a similar game." We tracked down the developer that made Pac-Avoid and it turns out they were contacted by King.com to clone the game!
No "contract" was ever signed, this was Lars/King justifying their actions to a small indie developer that might otherwise have turned down the request to copy our game.
