They're also going after games with Candy in the name, so there's a group challenging as many indies to develop games with candy in the name as possible.

Kinda how Microsoft is changing SkyDrive to OneDrive because of that one anus of a company in the UK.

I hope this company goes after games that came out forever ago... I just wanna see their argument.
