Although your support is appreciated, please avoid any personal attacks.

Everyone: I hope to have some news regarding this soon (I have received a mail from current trademark owner today that is certainly positive - but want to confirm and sort a few things before officially announcing anything.).

@BuZz Thanks for the update BuZz. Hopefully this has a speedy and positive resolution.

@BuZz That's great news! I hope everything is cleared out and/or solved.

@AlexMurphy Here's hoping...:)

@AlexMurphy source?

[AlexMurphy]

@Fruitybit Yeah, fingers crossed it works out. BuZz seemed to be making positive noises above too. I just love how this guy is trying to make himself out as an innocent victim AND a hero to the RetroPie project in all this. The reality being that he is a douchebag carpetbagger who stole the name and goodwill of a project he didn't write a single line of code for or contribute to in any way at all.

@daeks It's from reddit.

How about chaninging the name from Retropie to something more universal?
Xbmc did this (now kodi) and that's better for them because it was weird being called xbmc when it was available on so many other platforms.
Who knows what the future holds?
I'm using retropie on non-Pi hardware already.

I celebrate the guy's entire catalog.

[edmaul69]

So @mediamogul what's this i hear about your TPS reports?

[AlexMurphy]

@edmaul69 I'm gonna need you to come in tomorrow.

[obsidianspider]

I'm gonna have to ask you to come back another time…

[mattrixk]

What have I done?

at least he's playing Tetris in that last image, so it's kind of on-topic

WOW!
Just seeing this.
Looks like the guy tried to corner the market on retropie kits filled with roms and it backfired on him.

Anyone else see this on reddit?
