Why is that girl wearing stockings in the sea?
Koei Tecmo has announced it is taking legal action against an individual who sold unlicensed DVDs of footage pulled from the cheesecake titleDead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation.
The DVDs, which were reportedly made available through online auction sites, feature extended video compilations taken from the Japan-only PC release. In the videos, modding tools have been implemented to showcase theDoAroster completely nude, removing the remnants of what little clothing they were sporting in the first place.
Citing copyright infringement, Koei Tecmo reported the seller to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department before filing both criminal and civil lawsuits for compensation. The publisherhas reiterated on its websitethat it will take similar measures against any parties that it believes are infringing upon the copyright of its IPs and licenses.
Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacationis the fifth entry in theDead or Alive Xtremeseries and sees the majority of the women from theDoAroster take to a tropical island for rounds of beach volleyball and a selection of mini-games. The free-to-play title is sustained through a bevy of microtransaction and gacha elements, whereby players can unlock characters, bathing suits, and other customization items.
