Surviving Bratz Games


Personally, I love Bratz games. There are few games out there that mix the urban style most of us enjoy with a fashion doll that we can play with without feeling remotely childish. The Bratz dolls project the style I like and are cool enough that I can play with them whenever I want without embarrassment. The trouble it, it doesn’t matter how much I love the Bratz Games, they are trying to take them away.

The legal problems the makers of the Bratz games have faced are pretty daunting. The company has been sued by Mattel, the maker of Barbie games, for copyright problems. The company claims the creator of the Bratz games was working for Mattel at the time making the design rightfully the property of Mattel. Unfortunately for the Bratz games, they are now the property of Mattel. Fortunately for us, however, Mattel plans to continue the development of the Bratz games. That means that regardless of the fate of MGA Entertainment, the company that makes Bratz games originally, Bratz will survive.
