Hier das Statement von Moon Design: http://www.glorantha.com/background-concerning-suspension-of-gamezones-kickstarter-campaign/

Dareios:
Ist zwar nur eine Seite der Geschichte, aber macht soweit Sinn. Da haette Gamezone wohl entsprechend kontaktfreudiger sein muessen oder eben die Hasbro Lizens vorweisen sollen. Schade eigentlich, immerhin geht es hier ja nur um eine Namensgleichheit, die so schlimm nicht erscheint. Frage mich gerade wie es sein kann, dass man seine Rollenspielpublikation Heroquest nennendarf, wenn doch GW sicherlich den Namen hat schuetzen lassen?

Poliorketes:
Nicht GW, MB. Das Problem sind Sublizenzen, spätestens seit dem. Merchandiseboom bei Herr der Ringe ist man da vorsichtig, weil es schnell um richtig fette Summen gehen kann.

--- Zitat --- \"GAMEZONE Communiqué, Saturday 30

We would like to inform you all
about the present situation, after the pause of our Kickstarter project
by Moon Design P. during the thanksgiving holiday, which is an
administrative petition within Kickstarter.

Yesterday, Friday, at the start of the day, U.S. east coast time, we sent a letter to Kickstarter, LINK
invoking our legitimate trademark rights so they would deactivate the
pause and let us progress in the fund raising campaign. We are waiting
for Kickstarter’s reply on this matter.

Simultaneously we,
Gamezone and Moon Design P., had a reunion to discuss this issue face to
face as and not email exchange as was what was happening up till now.

Moon
Design P. solicited the pause in Kickstarter because of fear that
Hasbro could act against Gamezone in our crowed funding because we are
using an American company on American soil. Their argument was that
Hasbro could act against them as well for not impeding us in this
project. Even thought they are not in any way included in this project
or affiliated with it.

If Kickstarter does not reactivate the
pause taking into account our letter ( indicated above in the link),
then it can only be reactivated if Moon Design P. asks them to. For Moon
Design P. to do so they are asking for two things: An official letter
from Hasbro in which it states that they, Hasbro, will neither act
against our HQ25th nor Moon Design P. They, Moon Design P., have also
demanded a considerable sum and percentages from the Kickstarter
project.

If we wait for Hasbro to make a declaration, which we
can solicit, weeks or even months could pass. With that our production
and creation calendar would be severely affected, as not having the
funding to continue the campaign.

If the Campaign does not
restart soon, the HQ25th will not be ready for Christmas 2014. It will
not be ready to celebrate its anniversary.

There exist 3 possible solutions to this conundrum.

1. Kickstarter reactivates the project attending to our petition
2.
Wait for Hasbro to declare that they are not against this crowed
funding campaign of HQ25th en Kickstarter (an American Company).
3. Immediately move the crowed funning to a platform within Europe, where no risks of legal repercussions exist.

Option
one; we can only wait, we cannot be sure that Kickstarter will lift the
pause. We cannot influence their decision any more than we have
already.

Option two; Hasbro is not obligated to do anything at all.

Option
three; here there is no risk, except of course we will raise less
funds, no other platform out there at this moment has the same public
pull as Kickstarter.

Why are we telling you this? As our backers, what would you like us to do?\"

Dareios:
Na denn  :popcorm2: . Wenn sie sich einigen koennen und den amerikansichen Markt ebenfalls abdecken, dann ist das doch ganz nett. Oder eben zu indigogo gehen...
