I would say a 25 percent of fighting games.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I wonder how many kids knew who that is supposed to be.

Mommy, look! It's The Terminator!

 

[Version 3.0]

it's not but it's by the same dev. how could they rip themselves off???

The same way that John Fogerty got sued for ripping off a song he wrote (but didn't own):

After all, From doesn't own Demon's Souls, right? If Sony wanted to be jerks, they could sue...and hopefully lose, like Fantasy Records did.

I've always been curious: what was this girl reacting to? Was this a reality show where they eat bugs or something?

 

[butzopower]

What other country does Captain Crunch even have brand recognition in?

 

[Bulby]

Wrong thread

[JamesJoyce1882]

What is that blatant Zelda ripoff called again, that used to be a mobile game but is on every single platform now?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Lol @ Jamaican out of nowhere

 

[SwordStruck]

Good premise but at this rate you might as well recreate the thread since no one reads OPs.

That Sonic backpack is fantastic.

OCEANHORN?

 

[petran79]

I saw Mario on a poster of a shit drainage cleaning company

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

Some of you guys need to look up the difference between "parody" and "ripoff."

Some of you need to look up the difference between "parody" and "homage".

 

[JamesJoyce1882]

OCEANHORN?

Yep, thanks. Well at least it introduced people to Zelda who only play on phones.

 

[JayhawkerStL]

 

[TheSun]

Y'all seen Sonic Totoro?

 

[Tom Nook]

I saw Mario on a poster of a shit drainage cleaning company

This one?

When i first saw paladins ..

 

[manzoman96]

lol that actually happened?!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Don't know if this has been mentioned before but what about those Pokémon iOS clones that are wholesale advertised on Facebook, using genuine Pokémon names and characters?

 

[Laputa_94]

Theres a business in a town I used to live in that just uses vault boy as their logo.

 

[BrightLightLava]

lol that actually happened?!

It was a franchisee, not a Ford owned chain, but yep.

They get jacked all the time. Olly Moss is too good.

 

[Ricerocket]

I mean I've seen people say its not part of the Dark Souls IP soo...

Game was made from the father of the souls series so it's hilarious to see it called a rip off.

pocket master was legend!

 

[PSqueak]

no picture handy, but on the spirit of OP, i recall an off brand of plastic products whose mascot was a green colored Sonic.

 

[Swiggins]

Oh the shit you can find in Mexico.

 

[Ogodei]

Stree Overlord boner pills

edit: SFW image?

I'd hazard a guess that they just straight up stole some doujin-artist's work for that picture.

 

[retroman]

Sonic & Pickles will always be my favourite.

 

[David___]

I mean I've seen people say its not part of the Dark Souls IP soo...

It isn't because if Bloodborne was part of the Dark Souls IP then Sony wouldn't own the rights to it.

Like, do people know what IPs are?

Lol

It's funny because it's true.

How is it a rip off when the game was made by the same exact developer who made Dark Souls?

 

[Sword Of Doom]

This is amazing.

This might be the greatest piece of merchandise in all of history.

.

 

[DecoReturns]

Oh the shit you can find in Mexico.

Yup. Just go to your local dulceria.

So many Mario knockoffs, like El Chavo Mario Kart

 

[TGO]

Alright alright

Here we go

I have a pizza takeout nearby with Mario on their shop sign board.

 

[The Boat]

Took this photo at a Chinese shop:

 

[Boss Doggie]

You know, I always thought this was actually fake (i.e. not real bootleg). Like it was someone trying hard to make a bootleg product to show off (yeah there are actually people online doing that).

Lots of bootleg shit are rampant in my country so I got bombarded by them especially when walking to a flea market or certain parts of a mall, this one feels a bit too try hard is all I'm saying.

 

[Version 3.0]

Oh the shit you can find in Mexico.

Whoa. Franchise overload! You say this is from Mexico? Why's it in English?

 

[nkarafo]

There's actually a company of vacuum cleaners that's called "Kirby".

Because vacuum cleaners "suck", get it?

It's a coincidence, however. And probably older than the Kirby we know.

[Sky Interloper]

Let's see:

An unholy combination of the N64 and the original PlayStation; the first time I saw one I was baffled it used knockoff cartridges.

Shamelessly modified renders, quite common at small stores. The amount of times I have seen beauty shops with a Kardashian promo image.

Although not completely gaming related, the pervasiveness of Dragon Ball Z is a sight to behold.

Oh, Mexico.

I knew I'd see this when I entered this thread. It's still hilarious - wierdly colored assets is a staple of flea market backpacks at this point.

 

[antitrop]

Took this photo at a Chinese shop:

If someone's not sure what it's ripping off

 

[geomon]

Oh the shit you can find in Mexico.

Can I order this online?

 

[Gulz1992]

Not-World of Warcraft China Amusement Park

 

[Apathy]

I gotta imagine a bunch of these rip offs were just like the owners ' kid using photoshop to make these things.

 

[Savitar]

I gotta imagine a bunch of these rip offs were just like the owners ' kid using photoshop to make these things.

Nah, usually it's some country that has no idea what the item is or that gobbledygook words mean in that weird crazy language and just do what they do. Some times they might make a few changes to say, not the same, just in case.

[ss_lemonade]

Not game related but there's a place in the Philippines called "Jed's Resort" with some amazing sculptures

 

[GodfatherX]

well honestly if you had to market a product called Sucker Punch, youd be better ripping off Punch-out then that zack snyder movie

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not game related but there's a place in the Philippines called "Jed's Resort" with some amazing sculptures

The off model gundam is hilarious, lol

 

[swearing-circle]

From a TV show for kids here in Brazil:



They've been using those since 2009, don't know if Sony even bothered with it.

Wow, that's pretty blatant.

 

[Septimus Prime]

I see the Gamecube logo a lot, surprisingly. Like, some local companies just recolor it and use it as their logo.

 

[FireBeaver]

Ripping off two things in one picture
