Quirky news from the world of geekdom

Fake fan covers fall to copyright claim.

DeviantART is a website where all manner of visual artists post their work, receive feedback, join groups and make connections. One particular artist, manusogi, decided that, rather than just draw the usual sort of fanart you find around the internet, he would create some truly amusing Playboy parody covers starring the ladies of Overwatch. The community soon took this idea and turned it into a whole site dedicated to horny fan art, nerdy articles and interviews with cosplayers. However, the creators of the mag were hit with a copyright claim from Blizzard, meaning only the cover images are available to view at present. Although the project was created to give “Overwatch fans a new way of enjoying the game,” Blizzard didn’t quite see it that way. Bah, humbug.
