I think this is what we call "Irony."

imo, i doubt Topway would care anyway. They've been manufacturing for RO for years.

The worst thing that could happen is that RO will have Topway make their guitars for them.

It's an amplifier. It makes sound louder. It should work with any game you throw at it.

As far as the counter-suit goes: nothing today has made me laugh harder. I can't wait to see how this turns out... RO deserves this, for being stupid...

That's funny. RedOctane should be punished for making the Ignition 3.0 and butchering ITG's lyrics. I've bought $20 softpads that worked better than my Ignition and suffered more abuse, and the $40 discount I got on the Ignition wasn't worth it. I would've bought ITG if it wasn't for the lyrics *gets shot*. Stupid reason, probably, but I seriously didn't want to buy it just for the stupid censorship, but let's not get into that.

I'm laughing really hard on the inside, but it reminds me of the Konami lawsuit, which would make me sad if Konami or RoXoR's dancing game career died because of it.

I could understand wanting them to have packaging that looked different from the original product, but Konami had GF way before RO learned how to wipe it's buttocks. And GF rocked. Only reason GH does better in the US is because of the American songlist. We like our classic hits, even if they are only crappy cover songs. GF still owns among the J-Pop/Rock fans. It just depends on your flavor, and there's a lot more people in the US who would hear Ozzy than Ayumi. Sad but true. v

Nice post on the Topway Magical Guitar. I actually bought that a few years ago, and it had the five button deal, the tilt sensor, and I find it better than the RO control. As good as the RO Guitar was, it started losing accuracy in the button presses. Oh yeah, the TAC and Topway guitars can work with GF and sub for GH, just w/o the whammy.

It's their own story. All TAC did was take the design and say "We can make it better." Refer to the links to RO a page or two back. They took a design and said "We can make it better."

I think they'll get ordered to change the look of the packaging at the least. Hopefully it'll stop there. A level headed judge would take into consideration that RO did the exact same thing and turn this whole thing around. Just because someone has filed a suit doesn't mean they've lost already, all we can do is wait and see where this goes. My Ignition (yes, the blue/pink one whose design they modded from Konami) still gives me performance I can't get from another pad, barring a metal Flux. But I cannot support this company any longer should they put TAC out of business and that pad is gone. Haven't heard of TAC before this, but I'll support them against RO if those greedy DDR/GF copying bastards win.
