Notice there’s no “sorry” in the translation

A screenshot would be nice

yup. someone is lying here

There are lots of finger-pointing here. Funko said the takedown was done by their partner, BrandShield. BrandShield said it was a URL-specific (or is it subdomain?) takedown, not the whole domain. The registrar, Iwantmyname, responded said takedown by taking down the WHOLE domain.

I think Funko shouldn’t have trusted AI to do legal-related stuff. BrandShield is a stupid idea born from the AI-hype. It’s stupid and shouldn’t have existed. Iwantmyname is just as incompetent if not more–they haven’t even released any public statement about this. Their customer support are also slow to response apparently.

Itch.io should move domain registrar. Funko should stop using BrandShield, it only damages their brand more.

Also what’s up with Funko calling someone’s mom lol. that’s stupid

I also think that this is why AI won’t replace our jobs. I’ve seen many instances where technologies replaces jobs, but this ain’t it

Funko: “Yo mama so fat”

Has Funko, BrandShield, and the registrar released any statements yet?

This is unprofessionalism on MANY many parts

the domain registrar never responded, what a fucking joke. time to switch

What the fuck, I assumed that this issue is resolved by now but turns out itch.io is still can’t be accessed

Can someone explain? How does Funko have such ability?

Chinese soup spoon > european soup spoon

Trailers for the games I have played:

• Skyrim
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild

haven’t played

• Death Stranding
• Death Stranding 2
• Fallout 4

how can you be a fan of “Hawk Tuah”? It’s the unfunniest meme like ever

Slightly relevant:

ya got me right there

And Ghost is a CMS

What’s with the “My opinion is better than yours” attitude? Can’t we just have nuanced discussion?

I would not even call it enshittification, this actually seems like a good trade off. How else they would make money? Ads? If they run ads that would be instant no from me

Man… I really wish Kbin was the one who took off instead. I know lots of people turned off by the fact that Lemmy has lots of suspicious folks like this.

Is this “global news”?

I know right??? So disappointing
