The only full-fledged shorts in the PD are Steamboat Willie and The Mad Doctor. Plane Crazy and the Gallopin Gaucho are PD, but only the silent test reels. The full shorts alongside a third short, Barn Dance, will be full-fledged PD next year.
It's been no secret that Willie was entering public domain. Wouldn't be that much of a stretch for them to create the game in the time between first hearing about it to now. Kinda like Blood and Honey, it was a movie shot and produced during a time where Pooh was still copywritten. It sat on the shelf until the lawyers would be happy, then released the day of Pooh ran out of time. @@malekhekal4238
Are you looking at the same thing? This looks like some crap PC game that came out in the early 2000s that they just stuck Steamboat Willie into. These people didn't put any effort into anything.

Yeah I'm glad these characters can exist outside of the companies that own them but It's sad that the Internet has degraded people's creativity to the point where the only thing people can think do do with them is mascot horror
There’s actually already a Winnie the Pooh horror game. It’s called Winnie’s Hole, where an alien infected Pooh and is planning to attack his friends. Not joking

Exactly. Disney ruined beloved heroes like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones. Now they get to watch their beloved creation get trashed on. What goes around comes around.
He has been public domain for 10 hours and we are already making mascot horror. Jesus Christ does everything have to have a mascot horror game based around it
Everyone is talking about how quickly this was posted, but the game and trailer were probably already ready, probably the developers were just waiting for Mickey to be officially announced as public domain.
It's exploitation of public interest in a topic, low budget films have been doing it for decades. Plus Steamboat Willie is kinda cruel and not wholesome in that short.
This looks like an actual game with work put into it. That means they had it ready and were waiting for that public domain. Almost like they knew it would happen.
What do you mean almost like they knew it would happen? Who DIDN’T know about it??? People have been talking about this very thing happening months ago.
Cause they want to distort Mickey's image as a child oriented character that people grew up with. They also think it's funny cause it's Disney's mascot. Disney wouldn't allow a father to put Spider-Man on his son's, who loved Spider-Man, grave cause they didn't want Spider-Man to be associated with "death" even though the character is centered around death with Uncle Ben's death. They did this as a middle finger to Disney.
Just because the devs changed the title doesn’t rule out the undertones of this game. They definitely knew even though I’m sure it would’ve been more accurate if Mickey was the playable character. Also, if it had a VS mode, then both the protagonist & antagonist would be dressed as different versions of the mouse that would fit with the times
@tacticalcircumvention2889 You guys are literally doing numerology lol. The only thing that was even mildly suspicious was the 88 in the title and they changed that. Everything from there was people tearing apart the website and trailer trying to piece together any other dog whistles they could. Like for example saying ""Infestation 88" has 14 characters in it" uh no it doesn't it has 13 and a space lol.
What's the legality of developing a product from a protected IP that you intend to sell while it's still protected, but only releasing it after it's public domain?
@@flwrsforlay88 is a very common dogwhistle given that the eighth letter of the alphabet is H so 88 is often used instead of two H’s which stands for well… you know.

What’s wrong with 88? What other meanings ?
10 hours. It took 10 hours of Mickey being Public Domain and we already have a horror game version.
Another game called “mouse” is also based on the same Mickey variant and was announced last year. So even less time.
Not Mickey exactly, but rather Steamboat Willy.

I'm not sure why, since unless they were going to use the name Steamboat Willie this design looks distinct enough for it to pass as its own creation.
