Interesting read... now can we go back to using the real names?

Nice, good find. Remains to be seen if it is sufficient for BI to change their strategy, since it is a US court ruling while not every company aggressively chasing game developers for license money is American. Iirc Kalashnikov is particularly notorious. Interesting nevertheless!

Escape from Tarkov has all of their weapons , attachments and military equipment as the right names and manufacturers , they are an indie game studio who certainly isn’t as rich as Bohemia and they paid for the licenses .

bohemia and dayz devs are just cheap and would rather WE foot the bill than they do . Their all about immersion except for when it costs them money .
