First, welcome back! I remember you just by name from several J2O download reviews back in the day.

People have persuaded Epic by any means possible besides breaking down their building with bulldozers. Basically all we can still do is to keep reminding them that there's a dedicated fanbase and people wanting to play the JJ games legitly without having to scavenge the dark corners of Ebay. There are however some fairly recent cues showing that Epic still holds and protects their JJ trademark, notably the legal shutdown of a malicious kickstarter campaign claiming to revive JJ. They are also still selling a T-shirt in their official online store.
