Topic: Ninja Pig Studios (Meme Run): The Immature Developer

jab50yen · 2014-11-20T03:47:49+00:00

So by now every avid visitor of this site knows that 'Meme Run' exists whether we like it or not. The game itself already looks cancerous and everything sure, but the only thing that can make it worse is how a developer takes this type of feedback. Earlier today he saw my video based off of meme run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci8DkBYyJhw And like most developers who want to make money, he's gonna try all he can to convince people that his game is the real deal: http://i.imgur.com/MrpsWC0.png So at this point i wasn't just going to hate on the game for the simple fact that I don't like memes or montage parodies (which this game is completely focused around), I wanted to bring up some actual problems. 1. A game called 'Meme Run' already exists: http://i.imgur.com/zHOHIpl.png https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teju.memerun He refuses to change the name because this version was 'released after his' when the only thing released at the moment related to his version of 'Meme Run' is a short gameplay video that already got plenty of negative feedback in the first place. Once again he says no because he says this already released 'Meme Run' is 'not even remotely funny, it's just bad' (Which I 100% agree, but the fact that this is coming from someone who is developing an extremely similar game with more shaking and terrible jokes, this is just contradictory.) With that, I wanted to know why his version of 'Meme Run' would be better despite the same terrible jokes and copyrighted material. He refused to defend his OWN GAME that he expects to receive money out of and says 'find out the reasons by playing it yourself' http://i.imgur.com/Rt4Pu3j.png He's right when he says I won't buy it though, which I won't, but I would still like reasons on how a developer thinks putting a game with copyrighted material on a console is a good idea. 2. Of course the most obvious problem, what i just stated. Copyright Issues. I brought this up as a legitimate concern and uh... I don't think anyone would be surprised at how this developer of a meme-related game reacted... http://i.imgur.com/SeXpjLW.png Real mature ninja pig. At this point I just said 'OK have fun when you possibly get into legal trouble' And he responds saying that my legal advice shouldn't be taken into consideration by him because I'm just a random guy from the internet. http://i.imgur.com/P6CaQo6.png Ninja Pig studios isn't a developer that yells and blocks whoever criticizes his work, but the fact that he could care less at the actual concerns that could get him into trouble more than makes up for it. He is pretty narcissistic and tries to act cool and pushes out someone whenever they're trying to help him, since his version of Meme Run will be on a platform where more people will notice the game, resulting in him getting a better chance at copyright trouble rather than the other Meme Run on the android store that fell under the radar (thankfully). This game will sell no matter what cause there are Wii U owners who legitimately like this type of humor, but i trust most people on here to not give a single cent to this tool. Don't try to troll the same demographic that you're hoping to receive money from badly Ninja Pig http://i.imgur.com/q2fSyfU.png

I'm not an expert on the subject of copyrights, therefore I'm going off of what little knowledge I have on this matter. Many memes are, in fact, protected by copyright.

@TeeJay I know for a fact the trollface is copyrighted, though this is a different looking one though.

Awhile back this site was selling latex trollface masks, he got sued from the creator of the trollface

The Nintendo seal of quality everyone. Oh how game standards have fallen.

Okay, that's not fair. It actually did sod all to stop shovelware even when it existed, with such 'masterpieces' as Superman 64 getting the seal. But hey, part of me does at least hope that at some time, stuff like this wouldn't be accepted on a Nintendo system.

For the sad music its Phuong Medley - Green Pastures ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpFcUbAV-wc ). I have no clue what the other song is

Memes can actually be copyrighted? Dang!

In that case I hope this guy gets sued for everything he's got for releasing this plague upon an undeserving world

I'll be happy to try it out once it gets favorable reviews. If it reaches above 85 on Metacritic, I'd consider it a must-get.

I can't wait for the NL review to tear this game a new one. I smell a 1 on the horizon...

Oh boy. you are right, the clone I made in under 2 hours doesn't have as many crappy memes as yours

But guess what, it plays the same.

(Lost it when you said "quality")

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but... it still doesn't seem like the type of game that would have gotten the Nintendo seal of quality in the olden days. And it seems a lot like one you could pretty much get for free online in the form of a flash game. Or for way less as an iPhone app.

But hey, let's see what the reviews say!

So how much do people get paid to play this crappy game. I want at least €20 a hour for having to endure this game.
