===Towergirls: Kingdom Conquest===

Towerfag announced work on a game about a month before Towergirls: The Game was announced (T:TG had been in secret production since shortly after the death of [[Chapter Master (game)|Chapter Master]], where as T:KC was announced and begun in thread at the same time). At one point, Towerfag tried to claim that Towergirls was public domain, and Gats was forced to contact him and sort things out, as well as start firming up the copyright and licensing. This began a period of 2 years of negotiating through a memorandum of understanding, with Gats assisting with art labor to give the game a more authentic feel. Then, in September of 2017, Towerfag claimed in the towergirls infinity-chan thread that Gats did not own the copyright, and encouraged and stated that other people could make their own for profit games using the designs and likenesses of characters designed by Gats. This forced Gats to terminate their previous agreement and DMCA his Patreon. This lead to a court case that was dismissed without prejudice for reasons of jurisdiction in January 2017, and then the reopening of the case in the district of Northern California (the home of Patreon at the time) a few months later. The case is still on going.

Towerfag remains DMCA'd, but has begun rebranding his property as Princess & Conquest, although the extent of the rebranding is overall low effort, with many of the princesses still very clearly looking like their Towergirls originals.
