This gets sadder with every year. :(

yeah, you can tell that both of them wont have a very long life span, of course, the fallout equestria remains fangame is lookin really good, all it needs is a modding api and it will be perfect.

@Background Pony #4506  
Yeah, but its hardly pony related.

And then them’s fightn’ herds rose from the ashes of fighting is magic, complete with an all new cast of characters, setting, and story as well as Lauren Faust as one of the new project leads.

And then there was one…I think.

And then there’s this: http://theovermare.com/

Hasbro is being Hypocritical because Wizards of the coast is owned by Hasbro!

@EPPony  
And, to add on to my comment, here’s the post they made: http://ponykart.net/we-ded/

And now, Ponykart is dead, it’s honestly a shame.

You forgot Mega Man Legends 3.
 
Wait, that’s the wrong series.

@Robomorons
 
There’s also possible issues with trademarks. Hasbro has to (as in, is legally obligated to) defend them to keep them. So it’s not like they have much of a choice in the matter - they either send a nastygram or risk losing the entire franchise.
 
Anyway, the solution is simple: run the whole project anonymously over Tor, then distribute through Pirate Bay. Also keep the code and other assets open from the start. That way, you can’t be sued since no one knows who you are, and even if the project is interrupted it can be continued from where it left off.
 
Of course, at that point you’re a part of an outright criminal conspiracy, which may be a plus or minus depending on your preferences.

“cries”” fighting is magic..why ..WHYYY !? …i want mane 6 to complete they game ahh i cant …sad…

Sad, never got to play MLP: online.

Banned from Equestria Daily?

The thing is that making a game took longer that pictures or plushie so these guys are likely to finish what they’re doing before encounter any problems. Maybe one day they’ll go after people that create a complete website about them doing plushies or commission, but just avoid to have a permanent platform for that should be sufficient.

Okay, not to seem naive, but explain this to me.
 
Why don’t the developers of this game just send Hasbro’s legal representatives an email like:
 
“Dear Hasbro,
 
we have completely shut down the project following your request. Unfortunately, we got hacked and all of are assets were captured by anonymous dev team in no way associated with us. Have fun trying to contact them.”

@Killryde  
No, they can’t. They also have the same laws if under the same situation.

And yet fanbases of other franchises can freely make whatever they want with no problems.

please be LoE. I want to play ponykart much more

My little investigations is next.

I hope so. I’m not a huge fan of fighting game, but it must sting like a bitch the fact that they can’t finish what took a lot of time and effort.

meanwhile at hasbro the company head holds a press conference…….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q-6H4xOUrs
