It makes a bit more sense when you look at the game's logo, specifically the font they use for the word "Monsters"

I don't see it? How do you feel about them going after Ubisoft's Gods and Monsters?

Ridiculous overreach.

I had the same initial reaction to this story, but I could imagine a scenario where someone saw the dark deception logo and thought it sort of looked like the Monster energy logo. Having said that, I still don't think there's any real chance of confusion.

Yeah no, I’d assert that any similarities there, such that they exist, are due to them both drawing on the same prior art/culture. It’s kind of insane that Monster gets to just assimilate all of that under its wing for free.
