  “I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine,” ‪Trainwiz‬ wrote on the Nexus Mods page for Really Useful Cliffracers. “I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.”

  "I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. […] I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

  In between working on my game and dying of various accidental injuries, I sometimes feel like I need to milk a particular joke until its inevitable demise. I will do this no matter how many legal threats, actual threats, black vans with the Mattel logo on them, or severed Barbie heads are mailed to me.

  This is because I have issues with authority, particularly authority derived from intimidation. I kicked a lot of bullies in the nuts when I was a kid.”

  Idgaf about silly mods like this, but this is iconic

  What company puts legal pressure on a mod this iconic, it does not make sense, it’s literally free advertising on a completely different game that cannot any revenue they make from it negatively.

    Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

      IANAL, but I believe in some places you have to go after any and all forms of it, otherwise you risk losing the whole thing. I think US is one of those places.

  Good old Trainwiz. Pretty sure the mad bastard used to frequent 4chan’s Elder Scrolls modding threads, so I’m kind of impressed at the restraint of his response.

  Give them BBB support you coward!

  It’s an all time great mod that’s pretty harmless with the IP
