News::Kickstarter Dev Harassed and Threatened by Vaporware Dev Over the use of Grimoire

What do Grimoire and Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar have in common? Nothing really, except for maybe a fantasy setting and the use of the word Grimoire in their names. However, that has not stopped Cleveland Blakemore, the developer behind the elusive Grimoire Heralds of the Winged Exemplar that has been in development for 18 years, threatening OmniConnection with lawsuits for trademark infringement over the use of the word Grimoire in the games name. Citing that Blakemore owns the trademark to the use of the word Grimoire in video games, Blakemore has demanded that OmniConnection stop their Kickstarter campaign, take down their Steam Greenlight page, and change the name of their game.
