No. By the power vested in me, I hereby permit you to keep your project's name, and to point at this man and laugh at him.


A name has to meaningfully differentiate amongst its peers, which calling an RPG making tool "RPG Maker" when it's not associated with the brand clearly does not.

It is (was) marketing failure and an unnecessary legal risk if this gets bigger and comes up on Enterbrain's radar.
