Fallout mascot spotted on pizza menu, Bethesda angry

November 17, 2009 in News comments 12

Reddit user trober has spotted the Fallout series "mascot" Pip Boy on a pizza menu. Contacted for comment, publisher Bethesda sounded pissed...

We contacted the Fallout publisher to find out its reaction, and were told, "Well he is a big part of our Fallout brand and is copyrighted, so, yeah, deciding on your own to use him to promote your business or product, or to sell stuff, or whatever, without getting permission from us ... not a good idea." Ruh oh!

    They could have atleast tried to cover it up. Like change the hair colour or whatever.

    Should I send Nintendo a picture of a "mushroom" from Maki of Japan(Japanese fast food restaurant) in Florida? There is a red mushroom with its eyes badly photoshopped off.

      Don't you dare. Maki's food is too good to afford to be squashed by Nintendo.
