indeed

I'm sure they will.  However, is it safe to consider that email real?  Because it could be fake, just like the C&D could have been fake.  We have no proof to prove that it wasn't just some guy trying to create a reaction.  So for now, I think we should leave it as a possibility, rather than a  THAT SUM BITCH DONE IT!!!!  However, you can still hate him for pissing us off.

*edit*
Ok, seriously Faust, You're starting to creep me out with your timing xD

I'm just lookin' for trouble apparently.

I can say one thing for sure: the links in the email CasG directed us to (the links to IGN and Gamespot) are real. Someone really did post those threads on April 9. The dude over Kagero who reproduced the email may just be looking for attention though.

Whether that person did it or not, it was an asshole thing to do.

He's an ass if he really did send them an e-mail like that.

He's an ass if he pretended to send them an e-mail like that.

It's all assholery, I tell ya!

I suspect that there's a libel case in there somewhere.

So, somebody was definitley setting us up is what you're saying?  It's just a matter of whether or not he really sent the email.....  Oh what a conundrum this is....  You know ever since I've joined, I've felt like a bad omen.  The C&D was recieved by Zeality the day I joined O_O....  Maybe if I leave the C&D will be removed xD.  Seriously though, is there really anything we can do if that email happens to be real?  I mean, if he's telling the truth, and the C&D has only been issued because they thought we were gonna get profit for it, couldn't we try and use it to strike a deal with SE?

It wouldn't surprise me if he did that.... some people in this world are just assholes and get off on acting like trolls.

The creators aren't making any money off of this, contrary to what any e-mails to SE may have said.

Also, I read that the makers of Fallout 2 would avoid reading fanfics in order to stay original and avoid inadvertently copying anyone else.

If this game comes out then all any SE people who'd work on a sequel need to do is avoid it.  Besides, the game -is- in English to boot.... and even if they knew English, well, avoiding playing a single fan-made mod isn't going to kill them.

Glenn27 and new users who may not be aware, you can always edit your posts with new info using the "modify" button you should be seeing right above your text window. You can even copy the contents, "remove" the post, and then re-post if you need to get people's attention with a new-looking post.

Not that it's a huge concern here or anything; I double and triple all the time, so I'm guilty of that too. Anyway, just a neat little trick.

Yes...the bogeyman is real. Also called the "Boogerbear" in some accounts, he sits on Yoichi Wada's shoulder and whispers about fan projects, hoping they'll get canned.

Ok, so this part we must not let out. We must not let this part be known on game news sites. Because this justifies Square shutting us down. We need to make it look like Square is to blame. So no more as to if it is real or not. We should dismiss this as fake, and continue to turn everyone against Square. Then if we can get some negotiation between Square and us that would be wonderful, our job is to get global video game recognition.
