EG> I can understand that they don't want someone scanning in their books EG> and posting them. That would a rip off of their copyright. However, to EG> stop fans from posting comments, ideas..... EG> . EG> Eric Something like this has happened before. Palladium Games has very much the same attitude. If you don't do exactly what the want, they will go out of their way to sue your butt. They pulled their ads from game mags that deal with other game systems. If you play other games, they don't want to deal with you. This trend is happening with a lot of game companies. Copyright protection is one thing, but when creativity is snubbed because somebody is not doing EXACTLY what you want with your game ideas is grounds for a stagnant philosophy in the gaming industry.
