>waste 8 years of your life for nothing
lol

imagine not just releasing it anyways under the guise that someone leaked it. attention whore dumbasses.

>>713269064 (OP)
was there a patreon or something similar?

They honed their skills during this time. That's not a waste of time.

>Our plan is to take everything we’ve learned through creating Masks of Power and use that knowledge and experience as the foundation of a brand-new, original game.
And they're well aware of that too.

>use private communications
>include no channels of communication towards yourself when releasing info
It can't be that hard, can it?

>>713269064 (OP)
Why did Lego just not let them be, is there any corporation that's not without a soul?

>what! our game which blatantly breaks copyright law got shut down!?
>aww shucks, well thanks for the monetary support over these years, a finished product was totally gonna come out and you weren't being strung along or anything!
imagine falling for this scam

>>713269064 (OP)
Just fly out to a turd world country and go to an internet cafe and leak the game

I don't have to imagine it. I've been posting here for much longer.

>>713269371
Lego is apparently hardcore about protecting their image and anytime they feel something might be construed as official or officially endorsed they shut it down.

>>713269064 (OP)
the fucked up thing about this is that the team got green light from lego when they first started out
lego simply changed their mind halfway in

that's what you get for trusting danes

Did they have a Patreon active during development? If so, based grifters

Bunch of weak spined cowards. Just release it for free, LEGO literally can't sue you. they'd immediately lose under the eye of the public court

>the fucked up thing about this is that the team got green light from lego when they first started out
No, they didn't. They just assumed they had it because there's been other fan games and Lego never contacted them to say "Shut it down." Until they did.

>LEGO literally can't sue you. they'd immediately lose under the eye of the public court
lol

you're a retard

>>713269064 (OP)

>>713269371
supposedly if you dont pursue you lose the right to do so in other cases

>>713269064 (OP)
One rule.

>BIONICLE: Masks of Power has been in development for over eight years. During that entire time, we’ve made an effort to ensure our project was in good standing with the LEGO Group, carefully following the LEGO Group’s Fair Play guidelines

Uh huh...

>waste 8 years of your life for nothing
lol imagine wasting 22 years of your life with no hope of college or a job since every application is turned down since you have no skills and you don't dream at night the days all just sort of blur together without the use of drugs or alcohol and you think about suicide once a day every day and have since you turned 18 and realized the happiest you would ever be was when you were 10 and had all the time in the world

Did the retards do the classic retard thing of making a game using unauthorized copyrighted material, advertise to the world you're doing exactly that thing and then get all shocked when the company tells you to fuck off?

Fully deserved, a shame they wont be getting anally raped to death in the slammer.

>Make illegal game
>Shadowdrop said illegal game
>Don't start blabbering about it when you're in development
It's literally that fucking simple. Don't wanna waste years of your life on nothing? STFU.

>>713271462
>wtf why won't anybody hire my druggie ass

>>713271485
>illegal game
lmaooo

>>713271223
this

actually just replace everything with anime waifus

first time hearing about this game or the game that it's based on. it was probably gonna flop anyway.

If you actually read the LEGO Group’s Fair Play guidelines it doesn't even come close to what they're talking about. It's basically a long statement about how LEGO will vigorously defend their intellectual rights. When it comes to "fan content" they only talk about websites and they say things like "Do not use the LEGO logo", "If you include the text "LEGO" it must be followed by a ®", "Do not infringe on our copyright", "Merely putting in a disclaimer saying something is unofficial or not endorsed by LEGO is insufficient", etc., etc.

What they were doing is far beyond what that the Fair Play stuff talks about and even then they've already violated it because infringed on the copyright and LEGO has already said saying something is "unofficial" is not a get out of jail free card.

>you don't dream at night, the days all just sort of blur together WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS AND ALCHOL
>wtf why won't anybody hire my druggie ass
I don't take drugs I don't even drink I just don't work because nobody has hired me I've been looking for a job since I was seventeen And the only job offers that I accepted is canvassing every summer because they're the only ones that message me

>>713271280
I do wonder (((who))) could be behind this faggot subhuman element of IP law

>>713272619
cool story bro

>>713269064 (OP)
Why does this even keep happening? Anyone working with a copyrighted IP should know this could happen at any time, just finish that shit in secret and drop it when it's done

>>713271223
But then no one would give a fuck about it, we all know the only reason those projects get any attention at all is mostly because of the IP they're stealing

>>713269064 (OP)
lol

>>713269218
That's not how game production work. It's very much just a grind with very little personal refinement.

>>713269064 (OP)
lol

Are you a retard?

GrifterGODS scamming donors and use AI to make a fake video of their totally real but we can't share it with you """game"""
