Let's start with the basics. This is Undertale.
It all starts when the twitter account for the fan game named, undertale yellow
CEO interjects, while he also states that he doesn't speak for TobyFox/Royal Sciences (the actual owners) https://x.com/sebastianwolff/status/1737742943644164145
It's then shown that the game developer gave his blessing, causing the CEO to be community noted, in which he then sneeds

Now it seems that the publisher, Materia, may have retroactively FAQ on fangames https://x.com/shayy_tv/status/1738062658341916929

That's rich coming from the guy whose entire musical career is composed of sampling and imitating copyrighted material
It'd be a real shame if Viacom were to copystrike his game for sampling one of their properties without their permission, real shame.

No one goes after sampling since so many big name rappers started heavily heavily sampling lol

It would be really funny if Undertale got sued/dmca'd over this shit and removed permanently.
The sad part is, I think Viacom could have a legitimate good legal case if you present this evidence.
And not in a "hey these kind of sound similar" but more in a "they're complete copies of eachother"...

Afaik sampling is rarely prosecuted by large companies, but him going "nuh uh you can't sample anything from my game" when his career is made out of sampling copyrighted material and a lot of the contents of his game aren't even his (taken from media libraries) is the perfect setup for him getting hoisted by his own petard.
