Long story short, some individual took my mod, Hyrule: Total War, paid a fee, and attempted to get it approved on Steam Greenlight to potentially generate a commercial profit. Now this incident is flying around the web and despite intents it's probably only a matter of time before a Cease and Desist is in order.
I do not know this individual's intent. It's possible he was trying to help out with advertising and did so in the most spectacularly stupid way possible. Or it's possible he attempted to destroy all my work and get it shut down as several have tried to do in the past. Whatever the case is, I am not going to assume his intent or goal and I encourage you not to make the same assumptions.
Those of you that are Patrons for Hyrule: Total War and Star Fox: Event Horizon I recommend withholding your support and pledges for the time being until this issue is resolved. If the worse case scenario happens and a Cease and Desist is in order, Please contact me and I'll discuss reimbursing you for a potentially incomplete game.
Hopefully Jim Sterling caught this issue early enough to nip it in the bud. The Greenlight page has already been taken down and I've received no negative word from Nintendo, Sega, or Creative Assembly on the matter. This might just all blow over in a few days.

I want to say this shouldn't be too big of an issue, but that's me being relatively new to the issue, so I apologize, but you still have my support.
