Yes, it looks like I will have to rest my case because you are not willing to see the problem, no matter how I try to explain it. "Free Cities: Origin" seems to be a good game and I like what I have played so far, but the current version is not set in the Free Cities universe (which is our universe, 21 years in the future) so the current title of the game is very misleading. Pointing out that some twats are doing something worse by abusing names is not a good excuse to do something bad. I still hope that this game will be updated to fit in the Free Cities universe, or that its name will be changed.Oh, give it a rest, would you? There are twats on this forum who think nothing of slapping their own name on someone else's work, hanging up a Patreon sign and sitting back to do nothing in the hopes that idiots will pay them.
I am not pestering a dev; I think that the game shown here is a great start and I respect that work. But as stated several times by me and others, the problem is that the game is not in the Free Cities universe. Again, read the Free Cities encyclopedia and you will see that the current version of FC:Origins cannot fit in the FC universe. It just does not match how FC describes its own timeline nor how FC refers to the "old world". Don't take my word for it: it should only take you a few minutes to install the latest version of FC (4.0.0-alpha.14 as of this writing) and read the relevant parts of its encyclopedia.Why are you pesteri9ng a dev who is working hard to make what looks to be a good game respectfully set in the FC universe? If FCAuthor turns up and says "please don't use the name" I could see the objection. Other that I really can't see an issue.
As a side note, if you want to be courteous and check if someone objects to the usage of the name "Free Cities", then you should probably not try FCdev who has disappeared a few years ago and who will probably not answer you. Instead, you could ask the current developers of Free Cities who are keeping that name alive and popular: Pregmodder, DCoded, Svornost, Blank_Alt, ... Anyway, nobody has a trademark on that name. So you could ask out of courtesy, not because you are required to.
