some shady crypto group bought the rights to the name or something like that after the original creator had let their rights to it expire.

Right. They’re planning to release a new version of the game with microtransactions and likely some crypto who knows what because they were able to snipe the trademark.

We don't know what and we are shitting on it? Righht

That's fine if they have the rights, they may do as they please. You're free to play or not play

its really not tho. the creator took it off the market because they felt bad about how addictive it was, the only reason this new one exists is to exploit people.
