Nowadays, companies can use the smallest excuses to sue others. Take Nintendo, for example, a company that won't allow emulators to exist. Some have wondered when Nintendo would go after the GameBoy emulator Delta. But Adobe is the company targeting Delta this time instead of Nintendo.
According to TechCrunch, Delta was recently forced to change its logo because Adobe claimed it looked like theirs. The developer first received a demand on 7 May from Adobe, claiming that Delta's logo violates Adobe's rights and the law. Adobe demanded Delta to change the logo or face legal action.
Delta insists its logo features a stylised version of the Greek letter 'delta' and not an 'A' as Adobe claimed. However, the company has complied with Adobe's demand and changed to a temporary logo. Delta plans to update the app icon again when Delta 1.6 is released. Previously, Adobe requested Apple to take down the emulator. But the app hasn't been affected, so you can still download it to play old GameBoy titles.
Doesn't sound like a big deal, but you can see how the tiniest issues could cause your favourite app to disappear someday. Is it right for Adobe to go after small developers who don't even create apps in the same domain (creative arts)?
