I think it's too early for anyone to be choosing a perspective or opinion already. Deciding on a conclusion when not everything is clear only enables its own flaring of emotions among the crowd. It's likely that there won't come a point where everything is clear to us, since resolution doesn't need it. But either way, no value in playing guess (or invent) the bad guy, since getting worked up just gets other people worked up.

That's understandable, it's in Stardock's interests to protect their product's image from others making their own things and associating them with Stardock's product. But this: They have literally been calling their game an official sequel to Star Control II. Have they? Their blog refers to it as a direct sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters and I wonder if that's a difference that matters. Perhaps there are other statements they've made els
I agree with the general tone there. Nothing useful in suggesting a negative view in any direction when all we know is that FF&PR posted something we don't fully get, and Stardock is pretty chill. Due to Brad's comment, it looks more likely to be resolved than it hypothetically could have.
