CandySwipe and The Banner Saga No Longer Suing King

Both Albert Ransom and Stoic have posted to their websites that they are no longer in a legal battle with the creators of Candy Crush Saga King.

The statement on CandySwipe.com reads:

I am happy to announce that I have amicably resolved my dispute with King over my CandySwipe trademark and that I am withdrawing my opposition to their mark and they are withdrawing their counterclaim against mine. I have learned that they picked the CANDY CRUSH name before I released my game and that they were never trying to take my game away. Both our games can continue to coexist without confusing players.

- Albert Ransom, CandySwipe creator

Whether this is the reason that the CandySwipe 3.0 Kickstarter was canceled or not is unclear.

The statement on Stoicstudio.com is much shorter:

Stoic is pleased to have come to an agreement with King regarding Stoic’s The Banner Saga trademark, which enables both parties to protect their respective trademarks now and in the future.

It's doubtful that the internet will cease with it's battle against King, however.
