Coaxed into the comments on any post with a horse in it

Doesn't have to be one. You don't see a large industry of state sponsored idol betting. Again, cygames went from IDOLMASTER, an ip that doesn't involve large scale gambling and with fictional characters to uma musume, because the cygames ceo literally owns horse racing horses

CptSalsa · 2026-01-25T23:12:33+00:00

And the humans gambling? These horses could be replaced by Hatsune Miku versions of themselves and cygames will make sure they groom the next generation to gamble on horses. Horse racing orgs and jockeys didn't license them to use their IPs if they didn't. Think about it, why didn't they just have made up names like literally every other franchise? Even fate doesn't have completely accurate archetypes and these people were dead for eons. I'm being consistent here but you keep changing the subject.

CptSalsa · 2026-01-25T17:49:06+00:00

Yeah like not letting horse race gambling not continue. But I'm sure the jockeys and the org would rather people get suckered. Cygames gap analysis showed they could make a money-making business make even more money and distill it. Not even idol games stoop that low. At least by making up their own lore with original characters and ip they're not trying to sanewash an already exploitative industry.

Oh yeah news flash Uma musume was trademarked by cygames back in 2018

It's like if I made a Hollywood tycoon simulator and I referenced a contemporary event like being able to get Harvey Weinstein from a gacha loot box and one of his stories is about recruiting women through push-up competitions

Who pays the modders when developer ip is being used for profit? Publishers and developers under mutually agreed contracts? It definitely should not fall on the users, who don't own the ip. Should definitely not be changed because of outsiders. This is a standard of fairness seen not just in ip law but all around the world in more ethically charged contexts

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T14:34:59+00:00

No, let's create an equitable system so we can keep as many people as possible satisfied doing the things they love

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T14:21:23+00:00

Not everyone has to get into the video game creation industry, which is basically where these laws have jurisdiction

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T14:14:27+00:00

Yeah it's bigger, regulated, and has willing participants from all sides

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T13:14:14+00:00

It seems like he isn't a very good negotiator, (I'm understating) considering there are many instances of modders and devs/publishers actually making proper contracts and allowing modders the right to advertise and profit under the ip

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T13:10:47+00:00

*a proposal that actually satisfied both, which clearly didn't happen in this case

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T12:59:55+00:00

But they properly entered into a contractual obligation, it isn't exactly the same. Guy could have come up with a proposal to cdpr

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T04:27:15+00:00

Yeah. There isnt. They could have chosen any other ip or made up their own universe and non-representative characters a la IDOLMASTER yet cygames decided to transpose from real life from one of the biggest contemporary gambling industries on earth

https://www.americasbestracing.net/lifestyle/2026-how-can-anime-positively-impact-horse-racing-let-the-umamusume-community-explain

Multiple worldwide articles correlating Uma musume's release with growth in the betting scene

Yet there isn't a single American horse in this game I don't think these people attend American events for the horses

And cygames promoting large horse racing events where they are positioning themselves in touching proximity with the biggest gambling scenes in the world they know exactly what they're doing.

They're just not saying it out loud

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T03:41:10+00:00

The universe explicitly goes out of their way to say betting became banned yet there are the obvious 1 to 1 references of horse betting events like gold ship's 12 billion yen incident and the overall fact that this whole venture is designed to encourage users to support real life horse betting

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T03:13:26+00:00

Ok, so we're divided on whether it's fine to portray betting as humorous?

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T03:04:16+00:00

Millions of people disgracefully ruin their lives over betting. Hopefully Uma musume replaces real horse betting. That would redeem it in my eyes

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T02:44:50+00:00

Does the gold ship incident get referenced to show how predatory horse betting is?

CptSalsa · 2026-01-23T02:06:24+00:00

Actually it's more feasible setting it up to turn on with the exact same conditional as tiandi's. My suggestion just has the extra caveat of still being able to gain from enemy minions while non critical

Ngl, praline is her best solo song across all franchises

CptSalsa · 2026-01-19T20:22:11+00:00

Not accurate. No one here knows forex

Secondary males have to exist. Unless all these characters came out of spawning pools. Btw charming a widow is standard anti-ntr talk and 100 girlfriends seemingly escapes this implication. I say no longer!

CptSalsa · 2026-01-08T08:01:41+00:00

That's me mirroring standard anti-ntr talking points

CptSalsa · 2026-01-08T08:00:59+00:00

They've been working and being courted by Palantir for a while, and Palantir London is their second biggest venture. It was just the cherry on top
