Sam Dyer of Bitmap Books released this statement:
We’ll keep you updated on any further news regarding the Compendium, but in the meantime, it’s worth reminding the Super Famicom: Box Art Collection, another product by Bitmap Books, was pulled from Kickstarter for unlicensed content. While it eventually found a publisher, it was rife with typos and grammatical errors, and fans have noticed an egregious error in one of the previewed pages for the Nintendo Compendium. Perhaps Mr. Myer should also be interested in looking for a proofreader?
I have now made some little tweaks to the campaign to make it even more watertight but I wholeheartedly believe that the book is 100% above board.
What happens now
Don’t panic! The campaign is under review whilst I talk to Nintendo. Your pledge is safe and in the unlikely case I’m unsuccessful, it will go right back to you as it would with any stopped campaign. There’s no need to panic and cancel your funding as your money is not at risk.The campaign is essentially ‘frozen’ as is the timer. So fingers crossed when we’re live again, the clock will start from with 24 hours left and we can complete the campaign.The whole thing is frustrating but please stick with me. I’ve invested a lot of time and energy ensuring that this is legal and above board.Will update you when I have some news."
