    some shady crypto group bought the rights to the name or something like that after the original creator had let their rights to it expire.

      Right. They’re planning to release a new version of the game with microtransactions and likely some crypto who knows what because they were able to snipe the trademark.

      That’s fine if they have the rights, they may do as they please. You’re free to play or not play
