In addition, Planet Entertainment must destroy all game copies and intellectual property assets that it still has in its possession. Planet Entertainment also owes another $2.37 million to cover milestone payments the arbitrator said it must return and Office Create’s legal fees. The arbitration decision, handed down in October, ruled that Planet Entertainment owes Office Create more than $20.9 million in profits that it realized from Cooking Mama: Cookstar’s sales on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It’s a messy complaint, but the bottom line to players is that the first console edition of Cooking Mama since 2008 can be removed from sale because Connecticut-based publisher Planet Entertainment were not authorized to release the game. The owner, Japanese publisher Office Create, claimed that 2020’s Cooking Mama : Cookstar was an unauthorized project - and the International Court of Arbitration has agreed, clearing the way for Office Create to have the game removed from digital and retail storefronts. The strange - but very serious - dispute between the publisher of Cooking Mama: Cookstar and the company that holds the rights to the Cooking Mama intellectual property has reached a turning point.
