That's really [redacted] sad LOL!... coming from a graphic designer... that's sad... sad an artist can't create something unique... it's like watching a bad Hollywood remake of a classic (not saying 50cent is a classic by any means lol) I mean... really?!?

Still one of my favorite movie posters...

It's really sad that as a graphic designer you don't understand parody or tribute.

Parody and tribute is not the same as replicating something and making a minor change that can fall into copyright infringement status. There's a major difference... not as minor as you might think.

I'm sad that I know who 50 Cent is...

[_Comrade_]

Using the same image as a parody does not hold a person or company liable for a lawsuit. A lot of other businesses do this. Simpsons did it ! The Simpsons did a parody of a Soprano's poster, so there you go

[cSand]

I like the parody, it's pretty damn funny actually.

Nice sale, might buy that (c)ataphract just so I can elite my Ilya finally (not a big phract fan, I found out after purchasing, lol)

Also will buy some premium time since it's cheap as

Eldagore said it better

Couple posts in and some troll is grasping at straws to find somthing to bash. I think the parody is humorous, and fairly well done.

Feedback for sale: I own all those things already( not all the champions, but the normal variant mastered so meh)

50% off premium time is nice, would like to see a larger chunk at that discount though.

[RTDouglas]

Love Hero mech sales!

Lighten up.

[Volt Corsair]

I'd just like to go out and say before anyone said it was a 50 Cent parody, I was reminded more of Armored Core art post Last Raven. Also, disappointed that it's a T-Bolt and not a Cent. The T-Bolt should be reserved for Mr. T related puns. Anyways, I think it's a good sale for some premium time and some decent mechs.

[Lan Pyrelight]

So...Orion or Ilya?

[DaisuSaikoro Nagasawa]

I thought it was popular knowledge that 50 Cent is a fan of MWO...?

Also, Ilya over Protector. Every day of the week.

Personally, I'd go Orion. Mini Altas and can bring some insane pain.

Ilya can pack some serious power but I found it rather fragile

I brawl mostly though so that's just my perspective
