Which is really ironic seeing as they are supposedly a company that advocates for creativity. But ofc, they are really just as morally corrupt as any other capitalistic corporation.

And to those few who celebrate this outcome because the game allows a bit more colors in its settings:

Still, I'd ask anyone reading this to be civil and not to harass anyone involved in this situation about this.

In general I noticed the tendency that more and more Lego fan content gets into conflict with Lego's legal department, which is sad to see.
The Lego community thrives like no other on creativity and community activity. This backwards trend is thus even more upsetting.

What I have also seen, are a wide range of reactions, from petitions, to announcements of boycots and some folks cussing violently at The Lego Group.

The relationship between TLG and the Bionicle fandom has been rough for years now. And it looks like it only goes worse from here.
TLG as a rights owner is allowed to act the way they did. Still, it is irriating to see this change of attitude after almost a decade of the project's existence.

There's been some errant speculation that Lego is planning to do something with Bionicle and they didn't want MoP stealing any of their oxygen. I personally think that's extremely unlikely but I can understand why someone would come to that conclusion because it makes more surface-level sense...

Personally I don't believe that to be the case either, but even if they were to make a bionicle reboot or whatever it could be, I feel like this is just self sabotaging.
I mean having the first act of such a reboot be "kill off the most popular love letter" immediately sours the mood.

Regardless of use. 20 years is long enough for them to have exclusive rights. After that it should be open season IMO

Honestly I think it should be like, 20 years after the copyright was first issued. Whatever Lego did later, 2020 is plenty late enough for Bionicle to become PD
