Because they want a propaganda. A devistation, for whatever reason. I won't be laughing at the whole scheme of things and their following events, but instead the ESF Team, for mindless defamation of character. Since the name of the sender in the mail was blocked out, I suppose -defamation of character- wouldn't apply, because you could be speaking about anyone working FUNi's Legal Department, or FUNi as a whole. The petition won't work, because if what you're saying is true, FUNimation's reason for shutting you down isn't for any sort of gain for themselves, nor would it make way for them to continue their line of Dragon Ball Z on the market, but more so spite. What kind of company, during their prime, a time when they're having videogames made, and action figures of all kinds designed around the world, a time when their sales are through the roof.... NOT tackle a small videogame development team like ESF? No, they wait until they're done with the huge reel of Dragon Ball; Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, the movies, the games, the toys... TO PULL some fandom down with their decrease in sales. You tell me what kind of business that is. I'm eager to know. I'm eager to know why they'd bother, 15 YEARS AFTER DRAGONBALL'S FAME. And that's including its impact on Japan. THINK about their decisions, and the reasons behind them.
And so it was, if you're serious, I'd rebel if I were you. This is the most outrageous thing I've ever seen happen, ever. I pity you guys for standing around and taking it up the ass. Here's an idea, post some definitive information regarding this, team. You may as well tell your fans all the fine details on this legal dispute.
