Again, uninvolve me on this. Friend’s still learning the ropes. Crosspost as you please. Just leave me out of it.

    Hey everyone,

    Unfortunately, I have to take down this project. The team at Playstack reached out to me in a very polite and professional manner, requesting its removal, and I fully respect their wishes.

        It looks like they were using the name.

        At that point it becomes a trademark protection issue.

          So, to expand on that, at least in US law (and I’d assume elsewhere), if you let people use your trademark for other products and don’t legally challenge it, the trademark can become genericized, which means that you lose the exclusive right to use it.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark

          I don’t know if that was the concern here, but generally, it’s true that there’s an obligation on trademark holders to actively defend their trademarks or lose them.

      Who could have seen this coming? Well I did, the moment I saw that they used the name and logo.
