How can you even sue any EQ emulator if the owner of the emulator simply keeps their irl identity secret.

you not very smaht, is you?

The lawsuit is over IP theft, not anything related to payments.

This is about THJs massive success.

It has literally 10x the active pop of their big TLP launch, and literally every video on youtube about Fangbreaker was: "Fangbreaker or THJ: The choice is obvious THJ"

This is the "harm" that is being claimed was done.

And THJ ARE the badguys here. They hurt the entire emu community by implementing a pay to win casino. And using the steam client.

A dissolute act of moral turpitude!

I remember seeing a bunch of WoW private emulated servers operating with impunity because they were based out of some remote offshore islands or something

I figured this was coming at some point with the money-making model they had and the wet fart of a server Daybreak released this year.

It's 100% entirely for keeping the servers powered and connected. None of that money goes to any dev. And none of that money had on game effects.

P99 is like funding a free digital archeological dig with the findings published to the public free of any charge.

And tbh. Since people do more than recreate the game here it's a little bit grey area.

THJ was like opening a park called Antonica where they rafled Firiona Vie outfits to the donors. And only G-d knows how their devs actually used the donations. I suspect some very sus motives.

This is exactly like those Minecraft servers that would prey on kids with micro transactions when u zoom out.

THJ are 💯% to blame for any blowback against the EMU community, P99 and Quarm.

I don’t care because I don’t play, but I wouldn’t be talking too much smack about Daybreak on the off chance their staff ever check here (most likely as a guest)

Doesn’t matter the company, if the wrong person feels insulted they might try to retaliate in some way. No reason to poke the bear, so to speak

But again, I dun care bc it doesn’t effect me

That's just not true the lawsuit mentions the donations as thinly vieled fees right at the top.

Don't try to spin this shovelquest.

Bear no false witness!

Since they’re distributing or enabling copyrighted game assets/code, they are still infringing.
