If infact Funi did send BFP a letter, it would be because they basically set their mod up as if it was going to be sold. Box Art, People selling it on Ebay, Game Reviews. Their ignorance led to the downfall of BFP, and now their stuck with a "make it up as we go along" .. "anime" thing... you might call it a mod... but i wouldn't go so far as to call that piece of junk code a mod.
A few companies don't care.
Fox cares..they tried to shut down XMod..
Orson Scott Card of Ender's Game fmae has shut down numerous mods based off of his material.
Blizzard has shut down every mod based off of their material.
Just a couple examples...
Don't get me wrong..
I'd HATE to see this get shut down..but it's foolish to think that this is immune from the grip of Corporate America.
This has been sold on eBay, as well.
It wasn't the BFP team's fault that their mod was being sold..it wasn't their choice.
The box art was just something that a bunch of mods were doing at the time...it doesn't mean they're going retail.
PC gaming magazines have been reviews mods for awhile....it's no big surprise that they chose to review that one.
If FUNi thinks this will give them trouble, they'll put an end to it.
Again, I don't want this to get shut down or anything.
I don't mean to incur any panic, either.
I just want people to realize the fact that being shut down IS a possibility.
Given the size of the mod and community..I wouldn't worry about it at this point.
Its a very small community.
Very few people outside of the community know about the mod.
Blessing in diguise...
