As spotted by a Twitter user, when players return to Pac-Mans home in the game they are no longer greeted by Ms Pac-Man, but instead by a new character who wears a pink hat. According to Ryan Silberman, who contributed to the book Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon, the new character appears in the upcoming Pac-Man Museum+ and seems to be called Pac-Mom. The new sprite appears to be the latest attempt from Bandai Namco to keep Ms Pac-Man out of its games, at least until it resolves an ongoing dispute over rights to the characters royalties. The original Ms Pac-Man game was not a Namco creation. It was originally a modded version of the game called Crazy Otto which was made by a group of programmers at the General Computer Corporation (GCC) in the US. Midway, who had the rights to release Pac-Man in North America, wanted to release a sequel but Namco hadnt provided one, so Midway agreed to buy the rights to Crazy Otto from GCC, with the two working together to turn it into Ms Pac-Man. When Namcos licensing deal with Midway was terminated in 1984 (reportedly because it didnt authorise the decision to release Ms Pac-Man), the rights to the Ms Pac-Man name went to Namco. However, GCC had already agreed a royalty deal with Midway, meaning it would get royalties any time Ms Pac-Man was used. Although a further royalties deal between Bandai Namco and GCC was made in 2008, there are reportedly some royalties issues that remain unresolved. These were further complicated in 2019 when AtGames, a company that specialises in mini retro consoles and handhelds, released a Ms Pac-Man mini arcade cabinet, despite Bandai Namco claiming it never gave permission to do so. Bandai Namco sued AtGames, who one week later did a deal with GCC to acquire the Ms Pac-Man royalties interest allegedly owed to it. Since then, Bandai Namco has seemingly made efforts to ensure that Ms Pac-Man doesnt appear in any of its games, so as to avoid further complicating the royalties dispute. The upcoming Pac-Man Museum+, which is released on May 27, contains 14 Pac-Man games in one collection, but Ms Pac-Man is notably absent. Pac-Land will be in the compilation, but presumably Ms Pac-Man will once again be replaced by Pac-Mom. https://twitter.com/nickisonlinet/status/1511758757218463748?s=20&t=xojsezNApF4m_God-YmmXQ --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame Zero posted [p:964103131] in Ms. Pac-Ma...

The complicated rights situation behind Ms. Pac-Man is at the heart of a legal battle between Bandai Namcowhich owns the Ms. Pac-Man trademark and copyrightand retro hardware maker AtGameswhich has now purchased the separately held royalty rights to the game. According to a federal lawsuit filed by Bandai Namco this week, the company had been negotiating with the successors to that GCC deal in order to "resolve the relationship" the two companies had with the game (presumably to acquire the royalty rights under the Bandai Namco umbrella). That agreement was on the verge of being signed, Bandai Namco says, when AtGames swooped in and acquired GCC's royalty rights for itself this fall. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/09/the-rights-to-ms-pac-man-are-caught-in-a-messy-legal-battle/ --- R.I.P.
