Hi there Sophie,

From reading this post, it's pretty astonishing that more people haven't requested this to be taken down (or at the very least, rewritten to be a correct representation of what occurred). It makes me wonder where you got your facts.

If you go to http://www.craftingworlds.com/studio/, Tristan Pope actually publicly announced that he as well as another known machinima artist (Terran of RufusCubed.com, "The Return") are now employees of Blizzard Entertainment. Needless to say, I highly doubt such a grand contention happened if Blizzard still fervently sought to employ these artists.

On top of that, could Blizzard Entertainment really stop any non-profit machinima artist from creating movies utilizing their in-game engine? I’d say no…but I digress as that would go into an entirely different argument concerning big business virtual property and freedom of expression.

While your retelling of the tale has definite allure and dramatic poise, I feel it is hardly accurate to the events that really occurred and as a concerned machinima fan, I’m asking that you see the post on this blog made by Tristan Pope and heed his request.

Hi, this is TRISTAN POPE the creator and unfortuna...

Hi, this is TRISTAN POPE the creator and unfortunately while this dramatacized story has an appeal to it. It is completely and utterly incorrect.

If you would like a real story to write on you may email me at tristan@craftingworlds.com, however if not please remove this post as it is not a correct representation of the happening.
