PAC-MAN COLLECTION (79%)(STEAM)(dynamic bundle)

It seems Namco and AtGames are not getting along,

Seems about right.

It’s a bit more complicated. Namco owns the character, but has to pay a royalty fee every time they use her. In other words, Namco can do whatever they want with the character but every time they use her they need to pay a fee to AtGames.

AtGames used Ms. Pac-Man without Namco’s permission, so Namco sued them, and while Namco won, they don’t want to pay AtGames anymore, so they simply don’t use Ms. Pac-Man for anything.

Edit: the reason for this is that when Pac-Man came out, a bunch of companies made and sold clones of the game. Many of those companies got sued and left the business after they’d made a quick buck, but one company had actually made a better version, so Midway, the U.S. distributor, decided to turn that better version into a sequel, which they called Ms. Pac-Man. As part of the deal, that other company handed over their code, but got a fee for all future uses of the character (which they did not create).

So what is a dynamic bundle?
