Along with how they started ranking maps for iidx songs again.Sirade wrote:
KONAMI removed many beatmaps with "beatmania iidx" metadatas, imagine if KONAMI found out all entire mode like this one.
That might escalate to real copyright issues and DMCA requests, as if our game is commercial (while KSM is not commercial, I think) and is using their copyrighted resources (if this was implemented), of course they would likely to sue.
And well, it is way too be similar with osu!mania to be considered as a new mode.
Just my two cents.
Did they get permission from konami to use their songs again? If they didn't and osu gets attention from konami again, konami could remove songs from all of their games on osu. I've seen this removal request, but I haven't seen anything saying that konami gave the green light to new iidx maps.
