This reeks of a poorly-informed cash grab. I thought Chroma Squad is a game about Tokusatsu in general, though leaning more towards color coordinated teams like Super Sentai. Even then, it is still an homage and creatively different enough that it wouldn't be seen as infringing on Power Rangers in court... 'cept probably the dev(s?) don't have the time or money to take this to court and are so easily bowing to Saban's bullying.

This is some serious bullshit. I'd actually never heard of this game until this incident, but it looks pretty cool. It's too bad we might never get to play it now thanks to Saban. Reminds me of the same disgusting greedy behavior of Harmony Gold and King.

Why the hell would Saban get royalties for a game based on Sentai and even then more a homage then anything?

This is Saban simply making a threat. What they want is to scare the devs into paying them. If it went to trial who know if they could win.
The devs need to reach out to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for some help. |

Solid advice. This appears to be IP-abuse and bullying.

Keep on digging Saban, the grave is almost big enough for the entire board of directors. And maybe like in Evil Dead what will raise from the ground will be cleansed of all your evil - alternatively we'll grab the chainsaw and finish the abomination once and for all.

Yeah, there was an incident last year when Hasbro released a repainted/retooled Skystriker based on the Transformers character Skyfire as part of their G.I. Joe SDCC set.
Skyfire is in turn based on the VF-1 Valkyrie from Macross, and HG demanded either royalties or that everyone turn in their sets to them. You can imagine how that went. |

It actually went to court. The lawsuit was thrown out and Hasbro celebrated by releasing yet another Jetfire toy
