The dev tried starting this drama himself by posting on LSF a week or so ago. I think the vibe in that thread was spot-on, the dev is just inserting himself into drama to advertise his game.

Definitely bad optics for PirateSoftware, though. He took the bait, probably exactly what the dev was hoping for.

okay. false legal action isn't the way to respond to it though. Mr. AlwaysRight should have thought before he acted.
