I think we are all in agreement that Mobage has pretty much screwed the pooch with their blatant greed, shoddy ethics, and horrible treatment of valuable customers... I may  have discovered a way to maybe bring the whole thing down on their greedy little heads.

Here is what prompted me to think of this idea - check out this article...

The gist of it is that Hasbro very recently bought a 70% stake in Backflip games, but they are unable to make any Transformers games or G.I. Joe because of the licensing deals already in place with DeNa and their developer Mobage.

I am POSITIVE that in light of this, Hasbro would only be too happy if Backflip were able to develop their own games using these popular brands.

And here is where we have a chance to screw Mobage the way they have screwed us all for too long. Write Hasbro. Write them and tell them that the Transformers brand is being ruined. Write them and tell them how you have been mislead, mistreated, and downright RIPPED OFF by this company, and that you cannot believe Hasbro would associate with such an unscrupulous company.

Now I don't know the terms of the licensing agreement that is in place, but I promise if Hasbro can find more than a few examples of ANYTHING that may violate the terms of that agreement, that will dissolve it. They have a vested interest to do so anyway, clearing the way for Backflip games to develop and publish games using the lucrative Transformers brand name.

I am not a lawyer and again I do not know the terms of the licensing deal that is already in place between DeNa and Hasbro, but it makes a lot of sense to me that Hasbro may be very willing to put some fire to the feet of Mobage, especially in light of this recent development.

Let's get 'em. We are a large community, and WE are the ones who pay and play and make this game profitable to begin with.

Let's teach Mobage that when they try to railroad the little guy, the little guy stamps you out of existence!
