Ms. Pac-Man was a character not created by Namco, but by the General Computer Corporation for Midway. She would eventually be owned by Namco years later, with a portion of royalties for her appearances and merchandise owed to GCC - although, starting in the 2010s, a lawsuit over a failure on Bandai Namco's part to pay royalties would eventually lead to her being unnamed, replaced by look-alikes, or outright absent from ''Pac-Man'' titles and her existing starring roles being sold at a premium compared to other legacy ''Pac-Man'' titles, eventually culminating in the early 2020s with the creation of a consistent replacement character titled "Pac-Mom" after GCC's portion of the rights were bought by micro-console manufacturer AtGames, replacing Ms. Pac-Man not only in new titles such as ''Pac-Man World: Re-Pac'', but also through graphics modifications to rereleases of titles such as ''Pac-Land'' and ''Pac-In-Time''. ''Pac-Land'' was the first appearance of the character in Japan. | Ms. Pac-Man was a character not created by Namco, but by the General Computer Corporation for Midway.
