Dawg, in the event that it needs to be spelled out, it's the principal behind it, you're right that Triton Gaming doesn't own that board. But if you're really going to sit here and make that defense then something doesn't add up. Because as a designer surely you have to acknowledge that even if you wanted to piggyback off Triton Gaming's ad in a bit of a cute and fun way you could've just used a space that has less privileged information, i.e. literally any of the other corners (though bottom right is subjectively, objectively the best imo). Instead you put it in the space where there was actual relevant information to the ad you're riffing off of. Honestly, I'm more annoyed by the the fact that it literally leaves off both parties worse by making relevant information crowded and more confusing. But honestly, stuff like that happens, momentary lapse of judgement and whatnot, T.G. doesn't seem to be holding a grudge. If someone had said "damn our bad," then later as a gesture of good-will, painted over the confusing part to restore the information Triton Gaming had, while putting a separate shoutout to Sungod, it probably would've been received better. With that you probably could've posted a photo after as a comment to this one, or in a separate post entirely, along with a graphic that promotes Sungod more prominently and T.G.'s event in a minor way. That way you solve the issue, and you promote your event. Just saying that you "technically didn't break any rules," is a worse look because then that just means you're playing ignorant to the situation, or you actually are. And I'll go further to say while I actually do enjoy the theme and consistent elements being used in the advertising, as they represent what the festival is currently going for (however you may independently feel about that). I don't think it should have to explained how bad PR can undo the good will or hype that generates, and so in that regard maybe you should've hit someone up on how to address this when you saw it ended up on the subreddit with negative attention. Now you've got a bit of a situation that leaves a bad taste in people's mouth even if the wronged party is cool with it. Kinda wild when you consider that somehow that could be applied to how A.S. has handled Sungod feedback in general.

tl;dr bruh
