Ikea chases horror games – “Too much like our department stores”

According to information a my box Ikea sent a letter to game developer Jacob “Ziggy” Shaw in which the mobile giant wants him to make changes to his cooperative horror game The Store Is Closed.

The game takes place in a closed furniture department store, and Ikea’s lawyers argue that because the press and consumers have compared the department store in the game to an Ikea department store, the game could be guilty of trademark infringement. They then want the developer to remove all Ikea-like content within ten business days.

The Store Is Closed is yet to be released, but it has an ongoing and successful Kickstarter fundraiser that’s in its final week. Developer Jacob Shaw tells Kotaku that he sees no choice but to fulfill Ikea’s requests.
