Who tried to sue Banner Saga makers Stoic Studio over the "Saga" title?

Frick · Apr 23, 2015

Candy Crush makers!

EDIT: Which Google tells me are called King. That's a pretty stupid name for a developer studio IMO.

@RCoon, how come your book shows as unavailable on Amazon? Am I going to have to visit a dank and musty old bookstore staffed by an 85 year old gent that will talk my ear off because I'm his only customer of the week?

EDIT: wait, I found it! It's listed several times, only one of which is a current sale listing. Must be some marketplace sellers too.

Please don't buy it. Send me your email in PM and you can have a manuscript for free. It direly needs editing, but my publisher are morons.
