Ok, Tecmo, if you are reading this, way to go. You've just put yourself on the stupid list along with Infinium Labs. What these people have done is NOT, I repeat, is NOT, illegal. Once I purchase an item, I can modify it all I want for my own personal use. I can not modify it and sell it as a competing product. But, any game I own, I can modify it to look however I want. You can not stop me as long as I do not sell my modifications.

And now, you will lose in more ways than one. First, you'll lose this ludicrous lawsuit. Second, you have just alienated all your fans.

GG you blue-tards
