Wow.

I really don't understand this move from a corporate perspective at all. Unless Cyanide was bitching up a storm that whatever price they paid for the Blood Bowl license was being severly undercut by FUMBBL, I don't see why, after all these years, Games Workshop has finally decided to take action.

There is no doubt the existence of FUMBBL has impacted the sales of Cyanide's game and has affected its on-line community, but that's just becuase it's a lot better product. Given all of that, I guess it's not too surprising. If you can't beat them, sue them.
