Apparently copying a title is worse than copying the game itself. Priorities, man.

How the balls do you trademark "candy"? I didn't know these devs were like this...

Well, more people are buying Banner Saga than before and I think they deserve it. Such a beautiful game.
King.coms demographic is probably not into industry news so their risk of losing customers is somewhat manageable. Maybe they even go out of this with a few more players. I don`t think the news backlash is surprising for them.
