Call it a minor setback for upcoming GameStick Android-based game console. The project was temporarily removed from Kickstarter due to a copyright infringement complaint.
PlayJam, the makers of GameStick, sent out a message to its
Kickstarter backers informing them about the suspension. The complaint
stemmed from the inclusion of a video game in their UI demonstration
video and apparently they have no permission to use it. While the
demonstration was all about showing off GameStick’s design prototype,
game companies may not be comfortable with the unsolicited association.
Like Ouya, GameStick is a
home gaming console that runs on Android. The difference is the
GameStick is so small, it can be fitted like a flash drive. It has
since been able to reach thrice its funding goal of $100,000 before the
suspension, which PlayJam needs to resolve in 30 days.
And thankfully they did.
In an e-mail to its backers, PlayJam wrote: “We’re writing to inform
you that the DMCA process for GameStick: The Most Portable TV Games
Console Ever Created is complete. The project is now available.”
