[QUOTE="Jer, post: 9048752, member: 19857"] Dude. Dude. If you're really from Renegade for the love of Rao let your comms team handle stuff like this. Do not post on your own on an internet forum to try to clarify your company's position. It's literally the worst possible thing you can do from a corporate perspective. And if you don't have a comms team get one. And in the future BEFORE you send C&D orders to people run it through your comms people so they know what the company line is and how to respond to anyone asking about the legal action you're taking and so they can prepare for the inevitable social media nonsense that will be occurring. (And that's without even getting into the merits of the "why" you posted which, oof. Claiming ownership of a common word is going to get you all of the bad PR you could want and even if it turns out that it's legally upheld you're still going to be mocked about it forever. And for what? An indie Kickstarter that most folks haven't heard of that is possibly infringing on a design that you don't even own? For real? Let Rockstar fight their own battles and take the potential PR hit.) [/QUOTE]
