Playdead Co-Founders' Decade-Long Feud Escalates to Legal Battle

Dino Patti accuses Arnt Jensen of bullying after being served with a lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement and trademark misuse.

Playdead, the studio behind Limbo and Inside, is demanding $73,000 in compensation from former co-founder Dino Patti for alleged misuse of copyrighted materials and trademarks.
The dispute centers on a LinkedIn post by Patti in late 2024, which included a copyrighted image owned by co-founder Arnt Jensen and insights into Limbo's development.
Patti claims such legal threats have been ongoing for nearly a decade and accuses Jensen of downplaying his contributions to Playdead's success.
Playdead asserts that Patti's LinkedIn post falsely implies he played a significant creative role in the development of Limbo, which they dispute.
The feud has brought renewed attention to the acrimonious split between the co-founders, with Jensen emphasizing the need to protect Playdead's intellectual property.
