@onlyonepinman I honestly don’t see how you can think that Gamezone was up front about almost anything.

I agree that people who actually followed them to their final campaign must have known the situation. They had to know in order to have followed them through their previous cancelled campaigns. The last one was also the first campaign where they included a clause that called their game a tribute rather than new edition.

But it took Tabletop Gaming News that announcing that Gamezone only had secured the trademark to use the title in Spain before Gamezone would cop to it.

Copyright laws are expensive to enforce and not very rewarding, so you are right that Hasbro may not have bothered. I think that’s different from saying that Hasbro wouldn’t have had a very strong case if it had come to that.
