Remember, CEOs aren't people. CEOs are legally parasites.

What company puts legal pressure on a mod this iconic, it does not make sense, it's literally free advertising on a completely different game that cannot affect any revenue they make from Thomas negatively.

Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

IANAL, but I believe in some places you have to go after any and all forms of it, otherwise you risk losing the whole thing. I think US is one of those places.

I'm also not a lawyer but I've also seen how the law doesn't seem to mean shit anymore. Fuck companies.

Good old Trainwiz. Pretty sure the mad bastard used to frequent 4chan's Elder Scrolls modding threads, so I'm kind of impressed at the restraint of his response.
Give them BBB support you coward!

It's an all time great mod that's pretty harmless with the IP
