          It was initially an artist-owned company, which had a hostile takeover against the wishes of said artists

          Not sure how you’d define it as anything other than stole

              That’s not what this was about?

              They made an IP, a minor share holder used company funds to buy majority states in said company, then forced the guys who made the game out of the company. I’m not able to do investigative journalism in a comment, but there is still an ongoing legal case on this

                That’s more informative, thank you.

                I’m not pretending to be any kind of expert, as you can tell from my initial inquiry I’m not familiar with this, I was only responding to the way it was portrayed to me in comments.
