Delta, an emulator that can play Nintendo games, had to change its logo after Adobe threatened legal action. You might think it would be facing trouble from Nintendo given its recent pursuit of emulators, but that’s not the case. Adobe is going after developers, here’s what this tells us TechCrunch It first received an email from the company’s lawyer on May 7. Do not infringe company rights. Delta also reportedly received an email from Apple telling the developer that Adobe was asking it to remove the emulator app.
If you remember, Apple started allowing retro game emulators on the App Store as long as they didn’t offer pirated game downloads. Delta was one of the first companies approved to go public and was at the top of Apple’s charts, which may be why it caught Adobe’s attention. As of this writing, it ranks sixth in the entertainment app rankings with a rating of 17,100.
The developer told AdAdobe and Apple that its logo is a stylized version of the Greek letter “delta” rather than a capital A. Half of the old logo. This is just a temporary solution, though – the developers say they will release a “final” version of the new logo when Delta 1.6 is released.
