Stellar Blade was a pretty decent video game. It didn't blow us away, but it was a fun enough time, and is primarily remembered thanks to all the controversy before launch surrounding the main character's body. For many of us, we've had our fun and Stellar Blade is in the rearview mirror, but for one unfortunately named company in Louisiana, the game's release was the beginning of a nightmare.
First reported by IGN, a film production company based in the state called Stellarblade is suing PlayStation and Stellar Blade (the game) developer Shift Up over trademark infringement, with the company claiming that its business has been damaged. Stellarblade owner Griffith Chambers Mehaffey has filed a lawsuit against Shift Up, Sony, and an unnamed insurance company that Mehaffey claims provides SIE with liability insurance.
In the lawsuit itself, Mehaffey claims that he has owned the Stellarblade company since 2010 - and the website since 2006 - which offers "multimedia entertainment services". Mehaffey's main issue with the video game Stellar Blade is the effects it's had on his business, claiming that people had no problem finding his services before the game was announced, but are now constantly finding info about the game...
