Yes, it did, and I am still abso-fucking-lutely delighted that it got shut down. The fewer people convinced that they can become famous video game programmers by writing fanfiction instead of their own damn game, the better.

EDIT: Square is already doing a terrible job trying to tie CT to CC we don't need the fans doing an even worse job.

Making a game, movie, or book that uses somebody else’s characters to tell your own story is the work of a hack. I don’t care who you are or how long you’ve been working on your Final Fantasy VIII prequel. The moment you decided that you were going to use an established universe and characters to tell whatever fan story you decided would be super duper cool, your game was less for it. Is it possible your game won’t suck? Yes, but it’s about as likely as a game critic getting laid. (For those of you who aren’t game critics, that’s not very damn likely)
