Zenimax cease and desist order

Post by VikingBoyBilly »

Some article on some site I forgot the link to said that Zenimax is pressing charges against Keen wiki, the PCKF, zapthezot, and bipship to remove all the mods that come packaged with illegal copies of Commander Keen 2, 3, 5, 6, and Dreams. They cite the unofficial The Universe Is Toast mods on moddb as the biggest offenders they want removed from the internet forever, or all of our boards and activities will be shut down by legal force.

Goodbye, pckf :'(

Doesn't really work on an international forum: everything you could've done would've been after midday for me! ;)



Also VBB: shhh, you'll give them ideas!

Never heard of such a rule. You have all day to fool someone.

One man's day is another man's other day. Bill has a job, he doesn't have time for Internet tomfoolery.

(Ooh, "tomfoolery"... That was appropriate.)

Since when does "Bill" have a job? Are congrats in order or did I miss something that happened 2 years ago?

My friend when I saw here last weekend was like that we should ask zenimax since they now own id software that we should push them to release the rights to commander keen so that we would have tuit and all the official games including aliens ate my babvsitter to be available to buy or be issued as freeware.

what he does not understand is that zenimax can still make money and the fact formgen no longer exists so episode 6 legitimate is very hard to find, I was just lucky that dave allen sold me his
