Funko's statement:

>At Funko, we hold a deep respect and appreciation for indie games, indie gamers, and indie developers. We’re fans of fans, and we love the creativity and passion that define the indie gaming community.

>Recently, one of our brand protection partners identified a page on http://itch.io imitating the Funko Fusion development website. A takedown request was issued to address this specific page. Funko did not request a takedown of the @itchio platform, and we’re happy the site was back up by this morning.

>We have reached out to @itchio to engage with them on this issue and we deeply appreciate the understanding of the gaming community as the details are determined. Thank you for sharing in our passion for creativity.

This is a non-answer without content. They fucked up because their legal department used third parties they didn't have under control and who harass people that aren't involved in this in their stead.

Until they clean up their shit, the Funko copyright mafia should pay with PR goodwill until they apologized and reimbursed the damaged parties. Everyone profits if companies like AI brand protectors suffer for it as a side effect.
