The lawsuit is utterly absurd. If they were pirating the games the lawsuit is understandable. But they aren't doing that, simply modifying the game and giving instructions should be legal. Even the skins they are swapping aren't stolen. Pretty soon I won't be able to read my books in the bathroom because it insults the "wholesome values" of the author. Absolute Crap.
