At Target. No, not joking. I have it. I was boycotting it for a while, but I decided that's pointless because I already bought it.

really? huh. For what platform?

I mean at this point, any rerelases of Pac Man are sort of to get to play it on a specific platform in a new/different way. It's not like we could create a Pac Man game to make it feel like you are playing it on a specific platform and that's mostly the selling point. And if you want to play in in arcade, it's only like 25 cents and i doubt they get much from that.

It was just a controller that plugs into a TV. It had the classic arcade joystick and it was pretty fun. I got it exactly a year ago and I haven't needed to change the batteries once.

Yes.

Are you arguing this because you believe it or just for the sake of arguing?  Almost all evidence is against Namco.

Protected under Fair Use.

Yep. It said directly in the link you used:

"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include —

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."

So ha.

Max, read this.

Fair Use. It applies on Scratch, and that "expert" apparently works at Namco/Nomco.

I don't support. In fact, I 100% anti-support.

I'm actually on the fence now...

Who is this expert you speak of?

Can someone direct me to an official Scratch page which specifically states that Scratch projects are protected under Fair Use?
