I know What You Did Last Year

[Mass Distraction]

So wait, I'm confused. Did this happen because of the likeness of Jason, or because the likeness of a Friday the 13th game, or even both? The answer doesn't seem to be very clear unless I'm just missing something.

It's extremely vague as to what they are claiming is infringing on their property, my best guess is the one or two pieces of concept art with the machete wielding killer in the lake level could potentially be mistaken for 'Friday the 13th'.
I just find it funny that about a month after the successful funding of 'Last Year' they announced the exact same game with Jason then proceeded to file a lawsuit.

That makes sense that they'd think that. Until Dawn should have had that same problem though. I don't know if I find the timing of the claim and announcement of the game all that odd though. I imagine the Friday the 13th game has been in the works for longer than Last Year's kickstarter had/has existed. They probably just didn't want to file the claim until the game was officially in order to avoid revealing it early because that prompts people to dig and try to find out information they aren't intending people to find.  

They could've at least had the courtesy of filing the claim in silence BEFORE Last Year was succesfully funded. Now it means a lot of people lost their money for nothing and the company making the game is in a bad spot.
