ROB_RIV'S PROFILE

"But I am going to handle the game in the best way I feel will entertain its audience. I've spoken to several backers who are aware of what the game is being created on and the concern really seems to be a non-issue."

Although you might not continue to use the current engine, the legality of what you're doing has been pointed out to you, and yet you defend it because "several backers are aware of it and think it's a non-issue".

Be it using illegally-obtained graphics or an illegally-obtained game engine, you seem to dismiss criticism by saying that "I got to the point where I acknowledged there are those who aren't going to support the game no matter what I do. Any and everyone has the right to tell people not to back the game, I can't do anything about that. All I can do is make the best game I can. I don't really see what the purpose of going back and forth is at this point."
