Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel 455
KIllagouge writes "Just days before the release of Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, SquareEnix sent a Cease & Desist letter to Chrono Compendium to stop everything to do with Crimson Echoes. People might remember when they did this with Chrono Resurrection. Seems to be the growing trend; instead of listening to their fans, which would net them even more money, game developers continue to lock down old gaming IP. A copy of the C&D letter is available online."
The fan project had been in development since 2004 and was 98% complete.

Also, all works of fan fiction and fanart must die. Not because of IP laws, just cause they suck.

of course for the rest of us who won't get caught because we don't share out hundreds of files on P2P, disregard that memo.
