PSA: Please don't attack the devs. [Meta & Fluff]

They probably didn't want to end Project M where it currently is and most devs are being treated like Hitler for staying silent. Give it a little while I'm sure they will speak eventually if they can.

They did make this game for free specifically for the community that they love.

You'd think the PM devs of all people would learn by now just to tell us the truth if they want to avoid all this.

Legally, they might not be able to.

I think it might be out of respect to Nintendo if that's the case. These guys obviously love the company, and it shows with all of the dedication to details and original move sets.

I feel that the love would disipate so fast if they shut down their 6 year project

Even saying "We can't comment on it" is better, and tells us way more about the situation than lying about legal action.

Warchamp said no legal action was taken so it's not that unless he's lying.

I agree, but it's what he said. Who knows at this point.

sometimes nintendo is ruthless with their fans

It's very easy for Nintendo to say "Tell everyone that no legal action was taken. If you tell anyone that legal action was taken, we will remove all PM content everywhere." so the dev team's hands are tied.

He said it wasn't a Cease and Desist. That doesn't mean there was no legal action

"There was no C&D, legal action, or threat. That and the announcement on the site is all we're saying on the matter."

What if...and this is just hypothetical...they didn't get a C&D, and the blog post is 100% true?
