Subnautica is entirely a cautionary tale about the hazards of diving (without even decompression sickness or nitrogen narcosis). I died most by running out of O2 scrounging in wreckage, or underestimating the medium-sized toothy fish. Still. It's dangerous!

Ima say the Titanic claimed a few more lives. In First Class, no less.

McDonald's is notorious for suing any food-related company with a name starting with Mc or Mac, for trademark infringement. McDonald's lost to McNally's, a steakhouse in California, but I have to assume they've won enough to persist the policy.

Although in the 2010s it was observed that copyright lawyers on retainer to movie studios and record companies were over-eager to report infringement to media platforms even when it was obviously unintentional and not useful for piracy (e.g. dancing baby videos.) And Disney has a long wretched tradition of suing daycare places for wall murals long before the internet.

So this might be a matter of retained legal teams keeping themselves busy with overvigilence, since overenforcement makes such companies look like abusive dicks who deserve to be pirated (or worse, deserve to be not pirated).
